For a richer flavor, try using a blend of spices like nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in addition to cinnamon. If your pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15 minutes of baking. To check for doneness, gently shake the pie. It should be mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center. Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
