  5. In a large bowl place your apple slices.
  6. Add the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  7. Mix well to evenly coat the apples.
  8. Dump the apples on top of the pie crust already in the pie plate.
  9. Distribute apples evenly, of course.
  10. Place the second unrolled pie crust over the apples and tuck in the edges.
  11. Make a few slits or cut-outs in the top of the crust so it can vent.

  13. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  14. Once the pie has cooled for 5 minutes, flip it over onto a plate or platter.
  15. Your buttery pecan sugar mixture will be on top of the pie now.
