• If dough still crumbles, pulse in a little more water mixture.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and quickly form a ball by gathering together and pressing with hands.
• Halve and wrap each piece in plastic wrap, pressing to flatten into disks.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 pie crust disk into a 14-inch round.
• Fold in half and transfer to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate.
• Unfold dough and gently lift into place.

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk into a 14-inch round.
• Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into eight 1-inch wide strips.
• Vertically arrange half of the strips over filling.
• Horizontally weave in remaining strips, gently lifting vertical strips.
• Adhere to bottom crust with some water; trim and crimp.
• Beat egg with 1 T water; brush over lattice.
• Generously sprinkle with granulated sugar.
