Knead dough on a lightly floured board, adding flour as needed and until dough is of rolling consistency.
Divide dough into four sections. Roll bottom crust a little thicker than a regular pie crust. Line pie pan with crust and add half of the filling mixture. With a second section of dough, either make a lattice top or a full top crust with numerous air vents.
