I find it helpful to refrigerate the dough for about one hour. Both pieces of dough roll out nicely (use a floured board/surface). The bottom crust transfers to the pan easily, for me the top crust tends to tear a little in places when I transfer it. Just do your best to patch it up. It is worth the effort. It may look a little wonky but that adds to the homey charm.

I can't see where 1 1/2 cups of flour with only 1 egg and 2 TBS of water added would be like a cake batter.

The filling is quit generous to be sure, but the apples bake down nicely. The crust can be a bit fiddly, but you might try chilling it for a bit?
