• Preheat oven to 425 then lightly grease a pie plate.
• Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender about 15 minutes then drain and mash.

• On a lightly floured board form dough into a ball and divide in half.
• Roll half into 8” diameter circle and fit into the prepared pie plate.
• Arrange apple slices by overlapping them in 2 concentric circles over dough.
• Moisten edges with cold water then roll out remaining dough and place on top of apples.
• Press edges together and flute them to make a standing edge.
• With a sharp knife make 4 slits on top to allow steam to escape then bake 30 minutes.
