Description
An Old-Fashioned Apple Spice Pie is made by layering thinly sliced, cored apples seasoned with cinnamon and other warm spices in a buttery, flaky crust. The baking method caramelizes the apple filling and creates a golden-brown, crisp crust. The finished pie presents a balanced texture of tender apples and a crunchy, spiced crust.
