["In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices, sugar, salt, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla together.", "Transfer to the pie shell, and dot with the butter.", "Brush the overhanging edges of the dough with water.", "Carefully place the rolled-out top crust on top and pinch the edges together, turning under all around to make a thick edge.", "To decorate the rim, just press it all around with the back of a fork.", "For a slightly more advanced look, press the thumb and forefinger of one hand together.", "Use them to gently push the thick dough rim outward, while pushing inward with the forefinger of the other hand, so that they intersect in a \"V\"" with the dough in between.""
