3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour back of baking sheet and place dough on it. Roll dough into 12-inch circle, letting dough rest for a few minutes when it becomes too elastic to roll. Place filling in the center of dough and spread out, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edge of the dough in over filling, making a pleat every 2 inches.

4. Brush rim of pie with egg mixture. Bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
