Tips:

To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will result in a flaky and tender crust.
Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and make it easier to work with.
When filling the pie, don't overfill it. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the pie crust.
To prevent the pie from bubbling over, brush the edges of the pie crust with egg white before baking.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tart filling, and warm spices, it's a surefire hit with everyone. Whether you're making it for a holiday gathering or just a weeknight treat, this spiced streusel apple pie is sure to please.
