3. Make a lattice top for your pie by rolling out your dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a round shape big enough to cover the top of the pie. Cut the dough into 1" strips. Apply your lattice by weaving the strips on top of the pie.
   
4. By now, the sugar mixture should be good and bubbly.. make sure to stir it good and then slowly pour it all over the top of the pie. There should be some on raw crust and it should be going into all the nooks and crannies in-between.
   
5. Bake the pie at 400 for 20 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 350 and back for another 40 minutes or until the apples are good and tender. Enjoy!
