3. Mix the apple slices, sugar, cinnamon and flour together in a bowl, then spoon the mixture into the pastry-lined dish.
4. Dot the butter over the apples.
5. Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid, place it on top of the pie and press the edges together to seal. Use a knife to trim off any excess pastry, then make a few slashes in the top to let the steam escape.
