Recipe View 15 mins Assemble the Pie: Arrange the apple slices in the prepared pie crust, overlapping the slices in concentric circles. Dot the apple filling with the cubed butter. Cover with the top pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. (15 minutes)
