Northern Spy Apple Pie

Northern Spy apples tend to be available later in autumn—we're talking late October or so. If you care to make this apple pie recipe before then, go right ahead and substitute whatever baking apples you fancy.

Classic Apple Pie

This classic apple pie, made with two types of apples, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon piled high in a buttery, flaky pie crust is perhaps the best traditional, old-fashioned apple pie we’ve ever experienced. Award winning, we’d even venture to say.

Apple Pie with Cheddar Crust

This Cheddar crust apple pie is made with extra-sharp Cheddar baked into the crust for a surprising savoriness that’s the perfect contrast to sweetness of the Golden Delicious apple pie filling. Compliment worthy to the nth degree.
