Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.

Step 3

Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
