Fold top cruse under bottom crust around edges and take a fork, press down and seal the two edges together all the way around
Cut slits in the top of the crust (about 3 or 4)
Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil to keep from cooking too fast (take this off the last 10 minutes of baking)

You will know when it is finished when juices start bubbling through the slits in the top. You can also test the apples to make sure they are soft by inserting a knife through the slits in the top.
