Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

In a bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well-coated.

Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.

Brush the dough with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
