    Roll out the remaining pastry into a 10 inch round for the top crust.

    Set the prepared pie pan and top crust aside.

    In a large bowl combine the apples, ginger, cranberries and lemon zest.

    In a small bowl toss together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and allspice.

    Add to the bowl of fruit and toss well. Arrange the fruit in the prepared pan, piling it high in the center.

    Dot with the margarine. Brush the pastry rim with water
    and lay the top crust over the fruit. Press down around the rim, then trim and flute or leave a plain edge.

    pie.

    Brush the top with CF milk where you wish to place decorations.

    the crust is golden and the fruit is tender when pierced through one of the slits, 50-55 minutes longer.
