Shape gently into ball on floured surface, then flatten to 1-inch-thick circle, evening up rough edges. Roll out dough with lightly floured rolling pin into about 12-inch-diameter circle.

To Assemble: Toss apple slices with melted butter. Mix sugar with orange zest. Layer apple slices, then raisins, then sugar in greased 9-inch pie pan. Sprinkle top with orange juice. Cover with Flaky Pastry, crimping edges of dough to pan. Beat egg then brush top of crust. Cut steam vents in top.

Bake at 450 degrees 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until crust is golden and shiny, 35 minutes. Serve warm.
