Place sliced apples in mixing bowl. Pour lemon juice over apples and toss. Add agave, stevia, cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Toss apples until thoroughly coated. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan on medium heat, mix apple cider, water and raisins. Mix in agar agar and stir constantly until agar is completely dissolved.

Immediately add apple mixture to saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Pour into an 8- by 8-inch glass Pyrex dish. Stir the mixture until the raisins are evenly distributed. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
