Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

Press bottom crust into pie plate. For filling, place apples in large bowl. Mix together sugar, flour, and spices. Sprinkle over apples and toss gently to coat apples. Spoon into crust and dot with butter. Cover pie with top crust. Cut slits in top to allow steam to escape. 

Bake at 425 degrees until top begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400, and bake another 40 minutes or until filling center is bubbly and crust is golden. Cool before serving. Serve with ice cream scoops or wedges of cheddar.
