Apple Pie by Grandma Ople (allrecipes.com with some modifications)

You will not find a better apple pie than this anywhere.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (We used store bought crust)
  • 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
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • More apples (You can use more Granny Smith apples, but we used some that I got from a vegetable stand.)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). 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. Reduce temperature and let simmer.

  1. 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.

  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. When the pie is done, sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top.
