     1/4 ts Ground mace
     1/4 ts Ground cloves
     1/4 ts Ground allspice
       1 ts Milk
  
   For Crust: Combine flour, sugar, salt and mace in processor. Using on/off
   turns, cut in chilled butter and vegetable shortening till mixture
   resembles coarse meal. Gradually blend in enough water by tablespoonfuls to
   form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. divide dough into 2 pieces.
   Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. (Can
   be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly at room
   temperature before rolling.)
   
   For Filling: Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400~. In
   large bowl, toss apples with 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, flour, lemon
   juice, cinnamon nutmeg, lemon peel, mace, cloves and allspice. Roll out 1
   dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12" diameter round. Transfer to 9"
   diameter deep-dish glass pie plate. Trim dough overhang to 1/2". Brush edge
   of crust lightly with water. Transfer apple mixture to crust, mounding in
   center. Roll out second dough disk to 12" diameter round. Place atop
   apples. Trim dough overhang to 1"; reserve scraps. Fold top crust edge
   under bottom crust edge, pressing to seal. Crimp edge decoratively. Reroll
   pastry scraps and cut out leaf shapes. Brush 1 side of each leaf with milk
   and arrange, milk side down, decoratively atop crust. Cut several slits in
   crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with
   remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Place pie on baking sheet. Bake until crust is
   golden brown and juices bubble, covering crust edges with aluminum foil if
   browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and
   cool.
