Remove the core from the field apples and slice them into a quarter inch thickness.

In a large bowl, place all the sliced apples and add 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, a generous spoon of cinnamon powder, and 3 tablespoons of corn flour.

Stir all the ingredients together until the apples are well coated and combined.

Prepare a milk and honey wash by mixing 2 tablespoons of honey with 1/4 cup of milk and stir well.

Generously flour the work surface and place the chilled whole wheat pie crust on it.

Using the heel of your palms, press down the dough to make it flat and stretch it outward.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a large round quarter inch thickness.

Gently fold the pie crust into two halves and transfer it to the prepared pie pan, unfolding it to fit the inner edges and corners.

Roll out the second pie dough in a similar way and keep it aside.

Pour the apple mixture over the pie dough and spread it around evenly.

Drape the second rolled dough over the filling and trim the excess dough with scissors.

Fold the overhangs over the edges to seal them together.

Brush the lid with the milk and honey mixture prepared earlier.

Cut small slits in the lid to act as vents for steam to escape.

Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown for about 45 to 50 minutes.

After about 45 minutes, check that the crust is golden, indicating that it's ready.

Cut the apple pie into wedges and place it on a serving platter.

Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the apple pie and serve it along with whipped cream or just as it is.
