Roll half of pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly
floured surface; fit into a 9-inch pieplate; set aside.
Combine apples and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixing well.
Spoon over apple mixture, tossing gently. Spoon filling
evenly into pastry shell, and dot with butter. Roll
remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness; transfer to top of
pie. Trim off excess pastry along edges. Fold edges under
and flute. Cut slits in top crust for steam to escape.
Cover edges of pastry with strips of aluminum foil to
prevent excessive browning. Bake at 450 degrees for 15
minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and bake an
additional 35 minutes. Yield: one 9-inch pie.
