Some things are hard to improve on, like tender sweet and spicy apples in a flaky golden crust. This is it.

Grandma's World Famous Apple Pie

Pastry for two-crust (9-inch) pie
6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Cream or whole milk

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Line a 9-inch pie pan with half the pastry.
3. In large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and mace; toss well to blend. Transfer apple mixture to pastry-lined pie pan and dot with butter.
4. Cover apple filling with remaining pastry; pinch together edges of bottom and top crust to seal.
5. Brush top crust with cream or milk; cut several slits to vent steam.
6. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees F and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender.
