Grandma Apple Pie

This was my grandmother’s apple pie recipe. I have never seen another one quite like it. It will always be my favorite and has won me several first place prizes in local competitions. I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!

Ingredients

• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (your favorite recipe)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In saucepan on low medium heat and melt butter
3. Stir in flour and form a paste.
4. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
6. Place the bottom crust in your pan (previously greased or with spray oil).
7. Fill with apples.
8. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
9. 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.
