   • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare Filling:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, pitted dates, cornstarch, ground ginger, and fresh lemon rind. Stir well.
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly.
   • Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens, continuing to stir constantly.
   • Once thickened, remove the mixture from the heat and set it aside.

3. Prepare Crust:

   • Take one of the pie crusts and line a 9-inch pie plate with it. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

4. Prepare Apple Mixture:

   • In a large bowl, combine the sugar and flour.
   • Add the tart cooking apples to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sugar-flour mixture.

5. Assemble the Pie:

   • Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
   • Pour the previously prepared cider mixture over the apple mixture, ensuring it covers the apples evenly.
   • Take the remaining pie crust and cut slits in it. Carefully place it over the cider mixture.
   • Trim the excess crust, leaving about 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the edges to seal the pie.

6. Bake:

   • Sprinkle a little additional sugar over the top crust for extra sweetness.
   • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender, and the crust is golden brown.
   • If you notice the edges of the crust browning too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.

7. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
   • Serve slices of this delectable Apple Cider Pie on dessert plates and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors with your loved ones!

Notes:

• This pie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
• Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
• Experiment with different types of apples to find your favorite flavor combination.
