4. Blend well. Divide dough in half. Roll out half of dough to fit a 13x9-inch baking pan. Tip: Try rolling dough on floured wax paper to make it easier to handle.
5. Arrange sliced apples on top of dough. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Dot with butter.
6. Roll out remaining half of dough and place on top of apples. Seal edges.
7. Perforate top crust with a fork to allow steam to escape.
