Instructions

Freeze uncooked balls of dough or freeze dough in pie tins. FILLING: Place a ball of chilled dough on a piece of lightly floured wax paper and pound with a rolling pin to flatten and soften. Roll the dough into an 28 cm circle, lift it with the wax paper and invert onto a 23 cm glass pie dish. Press firmly into the dish and gently remove and discard wax paper. Place in refrigerator to chill. Preheat oven to 200ÂșC . Arrange apples in the pie crust. In a bowl, beat together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla and mace. Pour the mixture over the apples. Place the pie in the oven and bake until the mixture is set, about 30 minutes. The dough recipe makes about 3 10-inch pies.
