Wash, peel, and core the apples, cutting them in small pieces and removing any bruised parts.
Place apples, spices, lemon juice, and brown sugar into a medium pot set over medium-low to medium heat.
Stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes or until the apples start to soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water.
Pour the mixture into the apples, stirring to combine, and remove from heat.
Allow the apple pie filling to cool while you prepare the crust.
Unroll your pie crust and push gently into your pie baking dish.
Scoop the apple pie filling into the crust, spreading it around evenly.
You can cover the pie with the second crust by laying it over, pinching the edges together, and sealing it. You will then need to cut 2 to 3 slits in the top to allow for venting.
Instead of creating a sealed pie, we used leaf cookie cutters to make shapes and then arranged them, partially overlapping over the top of the pie. You do not need to cut slits with this approach since there is plenty of space for venting.
Once you add the top crust, create a tent and wrap it around the edges of the pie to help prevent burning.
Bake the pie for 40 minutes and then remove from the oven.
Carefully remove the aluminum foil tent and place the pie back into the oven.
Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the top of the pie turns a golden-brown color.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving with your favorite toppings.
