Roll out half the crust and shimmy it into a deep dish 9″ pie pan (glass preferred). Trim the edges leaving a half inch around. Roll out the other half to 10″ circle between waxed paper. Refrigerate the pan and the top crust.
Peel apples and cut into 1/4″ slices.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the apples, sugar and spices. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until apples are softened.
Remove apples to a bowl and bring the liquid to a boil. Boil a couple of minutes until thickened and add to apples. Let apples cool to room temperature.
Place cooled apples and sauce into bottom crust and lay top crust over. Crimp edges together and slash the top crust to allow venting.
