Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon and salt in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and pour in apple slices.
Step 4
Roll out top crust in to a 9-inch circle. Cut into eight 1-inch wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold ends of lattice strips under edge of bottom crust and crimp to seal.
