Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

- Divide the dough in half, rolling out the first half on a floured surface and placing it into a pie pan, pressing gently to form the crust.

- Cover the filling with the second layer of rolled-out dough, pinching the edges together and trimming off any excess.
