How to Make Apple Cider Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups apple cider, ½ cup chopped dates, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and the zest of 1 lemon.
3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2 minutes).
4. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Trim the edges.
6. In a large bowl, gently toss 6 cups peeled and sliced apples with ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
7. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
8. Evenly spoon the cider mixture over the apples.
9. Place the second pie crust on top. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Trim the top crust ½ inch beyond the edge of the pie plate. Fold the excess crust under the bottom crust and crimp the edges to seal.
11. Brush the top crust with a little milk or cream and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
13. Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
