This is an amazing apple pie and perfect for a larger family or if serving a crowd (or you just want leftover pie). The crust is dense and rich but flaky at the same time. It's a little different than your typical crust. The filling is full of apples, sweet, and full of spice thanks to the Saigon cinnamon. Drizzling the glaze on top is the perfect touch and hides any imperfections in the crust.
