• 1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
• ¾ cup white sugar, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 cups thinly sliced apples
• 1 tablespoon butter

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pastry crust; set second one aside.
3. Combine 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add more sugar if your apples are tart.
4. Layer apple slices in the prepared pie dish, sprinkling each layer with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Dot top layer with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust.
