Roll out a bottom pie crust and line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23cm) pie plate with it. Scoop in the apple mixture, and top it with second crust. Pinch it around the edges, and poke a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Notes
Letting the sliced apples sit with sugar and lemon juice gives the sugar time to dissolve nicely.
Starting the pie out in a hot oven helps the crust to be crisp and flaky. Turning the heat down keeps it from burning while the filling cooks.
