1. Prepare pie crust according to Classic Double Pie Crust (or get

plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes to allow dough to
relax.

stir well.
4. Spoon into prepared pie crust. Roll out top crust. Lift top crust over
filling.

even with edge of pie plate. Press between thumb and forefinger to make
stand-up edge. Cut slits in crust at 1/2-inch intervals around edge of pie
to form flaps.
6. Press 1 flap in toward center of pie and the next out toward rim of pie
plate. Continue alternating in and out around edge of pie.
7. Pierce top crust with fork to allow steam to escape.
