1 pie crust
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated
6 cups apples, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon mace

Prepare pastry. Line a 9 inch pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge. Flute edge; do not prick. In mixing bowl stir together 1/2 cup of the sugar, the 2 tsp flour and the lemon peel; set aside. Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice. Toss apples with sugar mixture to coat. Turn apples into pastry-lined pie plate. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, ginger and mace. Cut in the butter or margarine till crumbly; sprinkle atop the apple slices. To prevent overburning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 30 minutes or until topping is golden. Serve pie warm with vanilla icecream, if desired.
