  • In a pie pan, line one of the pie sheets and fit it gently pressing on the sides of the pan.Trim off the edges around the pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Mix the pie-filling ingredients except the butter, and pour in the mixture into the pie pan. Dot the butter cubes all over the pie at equal distances.
  • Cut the second pie sheet into ½ inch strips lengthwise, place the strips individually on top of the filling leaving ½ inch gap between each in a crisscross manner.
  • Trim the edges around the pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Brush the top of the pie with egg wash.
  • In a preheated oven bake at 425° F for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 350 ° F and bake further for 30 minutes or until the pie filling has thickened.
  • Cool the pie before serving.


Pie Sheets
