Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup honey
• 2 ½ tablespoons water
• 1 (14.1 ounce) package 9-inch refrigerated pie crusts
• 5 tablespoons apple butter
• 5 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bring pie crusts to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat apple butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, water, flour, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer while you prepare the pie.

Step 3

Place one crust in the bottom of your pan and fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cut the second crust into strips; set aside.

Step 4

Gently pour the honey mixture over the apples. Cover with the strips to form a lattice-style crust. Brush any remaining honey mixture on the crust.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until apples are soft and crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes more.
