There was a guy who made some cider with apple pie spices, whatever they are. Being European I don't really know what it should taste like but here is the link anyway. :) good luck.
P.s. finely chopped ginger and cinnamon IN the fermentation bucket for the duration of the brew gives a good flavor and a better aroma.

There is probably better recipes but this one got lots of good feedback.

You could also make a hard cider with apple pie spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla. You wouldn't get the full apple flavour that you would with the other recipe, but you could certainly boost the apple flavour by adding (thawed & unreconsituted) frozen apple juice concentrate to the apple juice. This will also add more fermentable sugar & acid to the must, but as long as you calculate this into the recipe, it'll turn out fine.

I usually boost the juice with 4 - 6 cans of FAJC in 6 gallons of must. Works great for cider or graff. When you use spices, use whole or cracked spices & contain them in a hop sack, weigh them down with a couple of sanitized marbles if you want to. Powdered spices are very messy & cannot be removed without filtration & will continue to add flavour until it will be overpowering. Also avoid using flavour extracts. For things like vanilla, use whole beans, sliced lengthwise & include any pulp from the bean. You might also have a look in the recipe section:
