(Freeze the remaining dough if not needed) Pat the dough into a flat disk then roll it out into a circle almost 1/4 inch thick and at least 11 inches in diameter, flouring the surface and the rolling pin frequently to prevent sticking. Carefully place the pastry over the fruit in the skillet. Trim the dough to 1/2 inch larger than the skillet Tuck the overhanging dough in around the fruit.
