Steps:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined.

- Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary.
- Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down.
- Roll the other half of the dough on top.
- Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together.

- Bake your pie until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
- Let your pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
