Then pinch edge to stand up and finish with fluted edges or use a fork and press the dough downward to form a flat edge with the fork tines. With a sharp paring knife, cut decorative slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. If you want a crispy top, brush top of pastry with a little milk and sprinkle with some sugar. Place pie in preheated oven (4. Fahrenheit/2. 20 degrees Celsius ) and bake for 4. Pie is ready when apples are tender and juice bubbles through slits of top crust.
Watch to make sure that the edge of the crust does not brown too early. Cover edges of crust with narrow strips of foil if necessary.
Once the pie is done, take it out of the oven and let cool for about 1. Enjoy this delicious dessert!
