PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER!
1. Pin the pie dough to an 1/8" thick circle. Line a 9" or 10" pie pan, deep dish pie pan or individual pie pans with the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Do not trim-off any of the excess dough. photo #10 #11 & #12
2. Repeat with the top crust and place on a parchment lined sheetpan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. photo #13
3. Remove the pie tin from the refrigerator, and fill with the cool apple filling. photo #14
4. Wet the edges of the dough with water, and cover with the top crust. Slightly press the edges of the dough together to seal.
5. Using scissors, trim all but about 3/4" off the dough hanging off the edge of the pie tin. Turn this edge under the lip of the pie tin. This creates the pie rim. Flute the edge as desired. photo #15
