5. Place apples and meat alternately into the pan, preferably starting and ending with an apple layer. Lightly salt and pepper each layer. Roll out the smaller piece of dough, cut out a circle and cover the filling. Make 5-6 cuts from the center to the edges with a sharp knife. Cover the pie with foil and bake in the oven at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, brush the pie with egg yolk, and bake for another 20 minutes.
