• Take dough out of frige.
• On a well-floured board knead gently 4-5 times until the dough holds together nicely and looks marbleized.
• Cut dough in half and roll out 1 half at a time about 3/4" bigger than the pie dish.
• The key to a flaky crust is to handle it as little as possible.
• Put bottom half in dish, then filling, then cover with top half.
• Crimp edges together using your fingers and make ventilation holes in center using a fork.
• Brush top of crust and edges with egg wash (1 egg and 2 tbs water whisked together).
• Bake in oven at 425F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375F and bake another 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
