• peel and slice apples. toss with sugars, cinnamon and flour. set aside.
• roll crust to make slightly larger to fit 10-inch glass pie pan. fit bottom crust in pie pan. turn in apple mixture and dot with butter. put crust on top and crimp edges of crust together.
• preheat oven to 450 degrees f (230 degrees c).
• wet hands with water and dampen top of pie. sprinkle with additional sugar. puncture top of pie with fork so the steam can escape.
• bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. reduce heat to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c) and continue baking for about 45 minutes more, until crust is golden brown. it's a good practice to place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the pie under the pie plate to catch overflows. serve warm.
