Put the Pie Together

Now that you have made the pie dough and apple filling, let's put this pie together! Make sure your pie crust has been at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator before assembling the pie.

Apple Pie Crust

First Step: Cut

Now that your pie crust has had plenty of time to cool, divide it into two, equal halves.   

Rolling Pie Crust

Second Step: Rolling Pie Crust

Roll one of the balls of pie crust out until it is around 1/8th of an inch thick.

Third Step: Putting Crust in Pie Pan

Once you have rolled out the dough, wrap it around the rolling pin and unroll it onto your pie pan.

Once you have shaped it to fit the inside of the pan, take a fork and poke holes in the bottom of the crust. This will let the steam out as the pie bakes.

Filling pie with apples

Four Step: Filling Apple Pie

 Dump all of the apples in the pie. Place about 4 chunks of butter on top of apple filling. This will give the filling rich flavor.

Roll out the remaining pie dough and place it on top.

Edge of Crust

Six Step: Forming Edge of Pie Crust

Create a pattern around the edge of the pie by using the back of a knife.

hint: Poking holes in the top of a pie usually keeps it from overflowing, but I find that this pie does better without them.
