Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 24-26 cm (9-10 inch) pie dish.

Divide the chilled dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger portion on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Trim any excess dough.

Pour the apple and walnut filling into the prepared pie crust. Spread evenly.
