In saucepan, bring cider to boil and reduce to about

Chill about 30-45 minutes. Filling: in bowl, mix
together sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples
to sugar mixture and toss to coat well. Sprinkle
reduced apple cider over all and toss to coat well.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On lightly floured
surface, roll out half of dough to a 12 inch circle.
Place in 9 inch pie plate. Spoon apple mixture into
pie shell, mounding high in center. Roll remaining
dough into 12 inch circle. Place over filling. Press
edges together and roll up together to form an even
rim. Flute decoratively. Brush top of pastry with
water and sprinkle over all with 1 1/2 tablespoons
sugar. Cut slits in top of pie for steam to escape.
Place pie on baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. Reduce
temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake 45
minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are
bubbly. (if top crust begins to brown too quickly,
cover loosely with a piece of foil.) Cool on wire
rack. Serve warm.
