["Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Roll both pie crusts into 1/8"" thick rounds on a lightly floured surface. Lay one of the rounds in a 9"" pie pan. Dock the crust by poking holes in the bottom and sides with a fork. Set the prepared crust and top crust aside.", "In a medium saucepan, combine the dates, golden raisins, and bourbon. Cook over medium low heat until the alcohol cooks off and the mixture is the consistency of thick oatmeal. If your stove has a vent hood, turn it on. Your whole kitchen will smell very boozy otherwise.", "In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Toss in the apples until they are evenly coated. Mix in the dates and raisins. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, mounding near the center. Dot the filling with butter.", "Cover the pie with the second crust. Cut vents in the top and crimp the edges of the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350u00b0F for 45 more minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool on a rack before serving."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
