  Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out half the chilled pastry to a
  thickness of 1/8-inch. Press into an 8-inch pie plate, and chill.
  Roll out remaining pastry with very sharp knife and make several
  vents in center. Place top pastry on parchment-lined baking sheet
  and chill. Put apple slices and raisins in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle
  with sugar, and toss to mix well. Pour this mixture into the
  chilled bottom crust and dot with butter. Carefully cover the
  apples with the top pastry, trim and crimp edges to seal. Bake
  45-50 minutes or until pastry is nicely browned and juices in
  center are bubbling. Let cool slightly on wire rack before
  serving.
