I thought I made a mean apple pie but this tops mine by a mile. The addition of the clove and ginger knocks this pie out of the park! Thank you Dotty. I've already entered it into my favorites file. I used my frozen apples from last year's crop and the only change was adding some lemon juice to tart the apples a bit. Everyone, you have to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!

Made for a wonderful weekend dessert! Used apples from our backyard and everyone enjoyed the end result. Other then using a touch less of the spices I made as posted with excellent results. The added glaze drizzled over made for presentation. This one is definitely a repeatable. Thank you for another of your terrific recipes that my family loves!
