8. Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Seal and flute the edges.
9. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden brown finish.
10. Make several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
11. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
13. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
