Traditional Apple Pie step by step

3. Peal and core the apples. Cut them into cubes and mix them with the sugar, flour and cinnamon..
4. Once the dough is cold enough, work the discs into two 20cm circles using a little flour to preventing them from sticking..
5. Cover the pie plate with one circle. Put the apple mixture in the pie shell. Distribute the butter in the mixture so wheb it bakes, it creates a sauce. Cover all with the othe circle and pinch the sides to seal everything. Trim any excess dough and cut slits in the too of the crust to let the steam escape..
