Now back to the dough. Divide it into two parts (one slightly smaller than the other). Roll both into a circle. Take a cake pan (we used 20 cm in diameter) and spray it with cooking sprayLine the bottom and sides of the pan with the larger dough circle. If it sticks out, cut it off and press it into those places where the dough is thinner. Then pour in the apple mixture and cover it with the second part of the dough. Where the sides of the dough meet with the top, press it together with your fingers. Then smoothen the top sheet with the palm of your hand. You can wet your hand in water beforehand so that the dough does not stick to it. Pierce the pie in several places with a fork to let it breathe and stop if from puffing. Bake until golden brown at 180 °C for about 40 minutes. Then take it out of the oven, let it cool down and it’s ready to go.
