Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves over the apples. Stir well to coat evenly.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
While the apples cook, lightly toast the raisin bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
In a separate small pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and lightly brush it over the toasted raisin bread slices for added flavor.
Arrange two slices of toasted raisin bread on each plate. Spoon the warm spiced apple slices generously over the bread.
Optional: Dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Raisin Bread with Spiced Apple Slices!
