- Roll the remaining dough into a 9 inch circle, on a lightly floured surface, and gently place the dough over the apples.
- With your fingers seal the edges of the top and bottom crusts.
- Brush the top of the dough with the egg and milk glaze, and sprinkle with white sugar.
- Cut a slit in the center of the dough to allow the steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 - 45 minutes or until the pastry is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
