1 recipe pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Stir in flour to form a paste.
Add water, white sugar and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
Stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
Reduce temperature and let simmer.
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.
