Roll Out the Dough

Cover the Apples
Place the rolled-out dough over the apple mixture and tuck the edges into the pie pan. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake the Pie
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
