Bring rum with raisins to some boil inside a 1-quart heavy soup pot, then remove from warmth and let stand, covered, one hour.
Put oven rack in middle position having a large heavy baking sheet on rack and pre-heat oven to 425°F.
Rub together brown sugar, flour, zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together with your fingers inside a large bowl until no protuberances remain. Peel and core apples, then reduce 1/2-inch-wide wedges and increase sugar mixture, throwing lightly to coat. Add raisins with any liquid and toss until combined.
Unveil bigger bit of dough right into a 13-inch round (keep remaining piece chilled) on the gently floured surface having a gently floured moving pin. Squeeze into a 9-inch cake plate (4-cup capacity) and trim edge, departing singleOr2-inch overhang. Chill spend while moving out top crust.
Unveil more compact bit of dough on the gently floured surface with gently floured moving pin into an 11-inch round.
Spoon filling evenly into spend, then us dot top with butter. Brush pastry overhang with a few of milk, then cover cake with pastry round. Trim pastry flush with fringe of cake plate using kitchen shears, then press edges together and crimp decoratively.
Gently brush surface of cake with a few of remaining milk and sprinkle throughout with sanding sugar. Cut 3 steam vents in top crust having a small sharp knife.
Bake cake on hot baking sheet twenty minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and then bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes more. Awesome cake on the rack to warm or 70 degrees, about 1 1/2 hrs.
Cooks' notes:
•To achieve a perfect balance of tart and sweet apples, we used 2 Golden Scrumptious or Gala, 2 Winesap or Gran Cruz, and a pair of McIntosh or Northern Spy (you will need 6 apples total).
•Raisins could be drenched in rum one day ahead, cooled completely, and stored within an airtight container at 70 degrees.
