Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out one disc of dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
Fill with the apple mixture.
Dot with small pieces of butter.
Place the second crust over the filling.
Seal and crimp the edges.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 35–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least two hours before slicing.
