Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

Prepare the Pastry:

-
Assemble the Pie:
- Transfer the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie pan.
- Cover the filling with a top crust, making slits in it for ventilation.
- Seal and flute the edges of the crust to secure the pie.

Bake to Perfection:
- To prevent excessive browning, cover the top of the pie with a 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil.
- Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.
- Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the crust to crisp up.
