Then, transfer the pie dough to a prepared 9 inch pie deep dish pie plate or pie dish.

Place the plate in the fridge to chill while you are preparing the pie filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg and set aside.

Place the coated apples in the chilled pie crust.

Add the apple filling to the pie crust discarding any excess juices as this will make your pie crust soggy.

Dot the apple filling evenly with pats of butter.

Now, roll out the remaining pie crust dough into ¼ inch thick circle and place it over the pie, ensuring that it covers the pie completely.

Using a sharp knife trim off any excess dough, then seal the dough, and flute it using your fingers.

Now, cut four slits on top of the crust to allow the steam to vent, and place the pie on a baking sheet.
