Chai Spiced Apple PiePT120Mhttps://img5.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1021/31/f/643267/300x200x90.jpg You’ve undoubtedly settled on your Thanksgiving menu by now, but I’m of the mind that there is always room for another pie, especially if it’s a sweet and complex, chai spiced apple pie in flaky, buttery pastry. Do note, that if you bake both pies at the same time, it may take some jockeying, depending on the size of your oven. Our oven has a habit of being difficult, it’s touchy, with a few hot spots, so I swapped the two around every ten or so minutes, and covered the necessary exposed areas with little strips of foil. Like a crazy person.8 servings
