I didn't like how the crust turned out. I followed the recipe exactly and still ended up with dry, cracking dough. I even attempted it a second time and got the same result.

It's also really yummy if you add some ground cardamom (to your taste) with the spices. I've only had one person guess what it was over the years. Otherwise this is the "classic" apple pie recipe in my mind.

In the expert tips it says to brush with milk or cream to get your pretty glaze... can't help but let you all know this is known as an "egg wash." I've grown up for almost 25 years with my dad as a baker, and not one of your "take it out of the freezer and bake it" bakers but as one of our city's few true bakeries. You will get your "pretty look" prettier by brushing with egg white. The egg wash also works perfectly on gingerbread cut outs at Christmas so that the dark, ginger color looks pretty and shiny if you choose to not decorate!

This pie was so much fun to make..I usually get kinda nervous making desserts especially pies because for some reason It doesnt turn out the way I expect but this pie turned out PERFECT! read the instructions carefully and follow every step and this pie will turn out beautifully and absolutely tasty!
