Instructions: In large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Add apples; toss to coat apples. Place one crust in 9-inch pie pan. Layer apples in pan. Moisten outside edges of crust with water.

Top with second crust, fold edges under edges of lower crust; flatten with fork or pinch together tightly to seal. Cut air vents in top. Lightly brush top with water and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 450F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375F; bake 30 to 40 minutes longer or until golden and bubbly. If top begins to get too brown, loosely cover with foil.

Makes 8 servings

NOTE: Tears in the dough can be repaired by moistening edges with water and pressing together to seal.
