Prepare pastry. Roll out and line 10" deep pie pan with pastry. Prick dough with fork, sprinkle bottom with a little flour. Pour mixture into lined pie pan and cover with top pie crust; trim leaving about 1/2 inch over hang. Fold dough under and back to flute thickly. Cut slits in pie to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle top of crust with water before putting in oven.
