Steps:
- For crust:
- Combine flour, sugar, salt and mace in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in chilled butter and vegetable shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually blend in enough water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
- For filling:
- Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. In large bowl, toss apples with 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon peel, mace, cloves and allspice.
- Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter deep dish glass pie plate. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Brush edge of crust lightly with water. Transfer apple mixture to crust, mounding in center. Roll out second dough disk to 12-inch-diameter round. Place atop apples. Trim dough overhang to 1 inch: reserve scraps. Fold top crust edge under bottom crust edge, pressing to seal. Crimp edge decoratively.
- Reroll pastry scraps and cut out leaf shapes. Brush 1 side of each leaf with milk and arrange, milk side down, decoratively atop crust. Cut several slits in crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Place pie on baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden brown and juices bubble, covering crust edges with aluminum foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool.
SPICED SUGAR APPLE PIE LIGHT
I used French Tart's "Recipe #219453" as inspiration for a lighter apple pie, after apple picking. This is a crumb crust and uses little sugar. Feel free to add more if your apples are especially tart. I use Pillsbury Ready Crust, but feel free to make your own. I use a combination of apples tart and sweet.

Steps:
- For the filling: Cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices and place them in a large bowl. Toss with the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, Warm Spice Blend, kosher salt and cinnamon and toss to combine. Mix in the boiled cider syrup and vanilla. Cover the mixture and let it sit at room temperature while you make the pie dough.
- For the pie dough: Add the flour, granulated sugar and kosher salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse to incorporate so that about three-quarters of the mixture is mealy and the rest has some slightly larger, pea-sized bits of butter. Combine the ice water and cider vinegar in a measuring cup. Drizzle the water and vinegar into the food processor and continue to pulse just until the mixture comes together to form a dough. If it seems dry or is having a hard time coming together, add a bit more water, a few drops at a time, until it comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and use your hands to press on any stray crumbs. Divide the dough in half, then divide one of the halves in half again so that you have 3 pieces of dough. Pat each piece into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to roll out for the pie.
- For the assembly: Flour a work surface and roll out the largest disc of dough into a circle just larger than 12 inches. Place it in a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate. Roll out the 2 remaining dough discs to about 10 inches each. Cut the dough into 2-inch-wide strips for making a lattice top. Set the strips aside.
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven (with a pizza stone if you have one) and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Fill the pie crust with the apples (it will seem like a lot but they bake down!) and pour the juices over it. Distribute the butter over the top. Weave the dough strips together over and under to form a lattice crust over the top. Pinch the edges to seal, trim, fold the edges over and crimp. Give the edges a little hug to make sure they are sitting snugly on the rim of the pie plate; otherwise they could fall off in the oven. Freeze the pie for 15 minutes.
- Brush the lattice with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar and flaky salt. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Serve the pie with large dollops of whipped cream.
- Layer the cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a medium glass jar and tighten the lid. Shake to combine. Keep on hand to add to your favorite desserts and beverages -- or just toast with butter!
SPICED UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE PIE
My grandma taught me to make this pie when I was 4. Over the years, I've kept it about the same with just a few changes. Flip it out the second it stops bubbling. The glaze makes it look especially delicious. -Francine Bryson, Pickens, South Carolina

SAUCY SPICED APPLE PIE
Mom's sweet and saucy apple pie earns a lip-smacking salute from everyone who tastes it. Since it's hard to wait for it to cool, I like to serve slices warm with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream on top.

MILE-HIGH APPLE PIE WITH BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL
The name came about when I entered the pie in the Lorain County Fair as an assignment from my editor. The pie barely fit under the dome of my Tupperware® Pie Taker. When I removed the lid at the fair, a 12-year old girl sang out, " that's a mile-high apple pie!" The name stuck.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Prepare filling: toss apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
- Prepare crust: put flour, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening, and salt in a bowl. Work it with a pastry blender until shortening is the size of small peas. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, working it in with the pastry blender.
- Gather up the dough and form it into a flat disc. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board and roll it into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan and flute the edges. Spoon the apple filling into the crust.
- Prepare topping: gather flour, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl. Work with a pastry blender until butter is the size of large peas. Sprinkle topping generously on top of the pie.
- Place the pie on top of a foil-covered cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool before serving, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a mix of apples: Blending sweet and tart apples creates a well-balanced flavor in the pie. Popular choices for apple pie include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
- Slice apples thinly: Thin slices cook more evenly and create a more tender filling. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the crust so the filling has room to bubble and expand.
- Brush the crust with milk or egg wash: This creates a golden brown crust and helps the sugar topping adhere.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This spiced sugar apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It boasts a flaky crust, tender apple filling, and a sweet, crunchy sugar topping.
