  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Roll out the pie pastry and fit it into a greased baking sheet or slab pie dish.
  5. Fill the pastry with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly across the crust.
  6. Roll out a second piece of pastry and place it over the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
  7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg mixed with milk for color.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
