Directions
Slightly flatten 1 pastry ball on a lightly floured surface. Roll from the center to the edge to create a 12-inch circle. Fold pastry into quarters; unfold in a 9-inch round pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate; do not stretch. Trim pastry to within 1/2-inch of pie plate edge.
For filling, combine apple slices, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; toss to coat evenly. Transfer apple pie filling to the pastry-lined pie plate.
Roll out remaining dough ball on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into strips. Weave strips over apples. Tuck ends of strips under bottom crust edge and crimp edges to seal. Lightly brush pastry top with beaten egg; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes or until filling starts to bubble in center. Cool on a wire rack.
