- Pour the warm apple mixture into the pie plate. Press down on the apples so that they lay flat and don’t have much space between them. This gives a nice, thick pie. Dot the top of the apples with the butter. 2 tablespoons salted butter
- Place the second rolled pastry that over the apples. Use a sharp knife to trim any excess pie crust, leaving enough dough to tuck the top crust under the bottom crust. Flute edges of the pie crust to seal.
- Cut slits in the top of the pie crust or use the tins of a fork to make the letter “A” on top. Use a pastry brush to brush milk overtop the pie crust, which will give the crust a shine. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the pie crust. 2 tablespoons 2% milk, 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet with edges just in case the juices run over. Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. If the crust is browning before you think the apples are softened, cover the edges with foil.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
