Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius Grate zest from orange and squeeze the juice. Add some water to the juice to make up 7 tbsp liquid.

- Pile the apples in the dish and press down slightly. Don't worry if it seems too high, they will 'fall' as they cook. Brush the overhanging pastry with water.
- Roll out the remaining Pastry and place on top, press slightly to stick to the overhanging pastry. Use scissors or knife to trim and neaten the edges but still leave them higher than the edge of the dish.
- Pinch the edges together, then using your fingers form flutes, keeping them well spaced. Make two slits on top of the pie.
- Brush the top of the pie with the egg whites and the sugar. Bake for 35 minutes, lower the heat to 140 degrees C for a furter 10 minutes until the apples are soft anf the pastry is golden.

DEEP DISH APPLE PEAR ORANGE SPICE PIE
I created this pie for my love of apple and orange spice. I added cranberries, and pears. The orange zest and cranberries give this pie a little tanginess. I am not a lover of very sweet pies. I like to taste my fruit. One pie is never enough at gatherings. I decided to make it in a large baking dish. This will feed a family with leftovers. It is also large enough for a holiday gathering. Why make 2 pies? You can make one huge pie. It is a big hit in my home. Enjoy!
