- Dot the top of the apple slices with the diced butter. Brush the edge with egg wash and set aside.
- Roll out the second batch of pie dough 2 inches wider than the pie pan.
- Mark the pie round in 1/2 inch increments, you should have 14 to 16. Cut dough into strips with a large knife or pizza cutter.
- Place every other strip on top of the apple filled crust, arranging them vertically across about a 1/2 inch apart.
- Starting at the center, fold back every other strip on it's self.
- Lay a strip horizontally across the remaining strips. Fold vertical strips back down over the horizontal strip.
- Fold back the opposite vertical strips.
- Place a second horizontal strip across the vertical strips. Fold back down as before.

- Crimp the edges with a fork. Trim with a knife.
- Brush egg wash over dough strips, and sprinkle with raw sugar.
