Combine raisins and cider in a small bowl. Let stand until plump, about 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Toss together the apples, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Spoon into the baking dish. Sprinkle raisin mixture over the top.
To make the topping, using a fork, combine flour, oats, the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl until well blended. Sprinkle evenly over the filling.
Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden, 45 - 50 minutes. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with a piece of foil during the last 15 minutes of baking time. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
