Spice amounts listed are what we like. Use more or less to taste.

Cover pie crust edge with foil or pie crust shield to prevent burning. For extra crispy crust, prebake crust for 10 minutes (perforate bottom with fork in multiple locations before baking).

Try a ginger snap crush. Crush a bag of ginger snaps 3 Tbl of melted butter and some brown sugar. Press into a pie plate and bake for 8-10 minutes before adding filling.
