Instructions
To make the filling:
Combine the sliced apples and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, Instant ClearJel, salt and spice. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples and stir to coat. Stir in the Boiled Cider and vanilla.
To assemble the pie:
Spoon the filling into your favorite pie crust. Dot with the butter cubes and top with the second pie crust. Pinch the pie crust edges together and slice venting holes in the top of the pie.
Brush the top crust with 2 tbsp of milk and sprinkle evenly with the Sparkling Sugar.
Bake the Pie:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F.
Bake for another 40 minutes or until you see the filling bubbling hot through the vent holes for at least 10 minutes.
Check after just 25 - 30 minutes of baking and tent the pie crust edges or top with aluminum foil if it is starting to get too dark.
Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely before slicing.
