Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease a 9-inch (23 centimeters) ovenproof plate or an Irish tart plate with a little butter.
Into a lightly floured surface roll first piece of dough until it's about 12-inch (30 centimeters) in diameter.
Line the prepared plate with the rolled dough and press the edges. Cut the excess dough.
Arrange the apples over the crust.Brush with water the edges of the crust.
Roll the other piece of dough and cover the apples. Seal the edges and cut away the excess.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
