Yesterday we saw how I make a dough-based pie crust for fruit pies. Today we will make the pie itself. After a few spectacular failures, I finally have this down to a process that comes out delicious every time.

An easy apple pie that will win raves from everyone you serve it to!
Ingredients
- 1 Pie Crust (see yesterday’s “dough-based pie crust” recipe)
- 1/2 cup unsalted Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 8 Granny Smith Apples
Instructions
- Core and slice the Granny Smith apples
- Preheat oven to 425 deg.
- 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 temp and let simmer.
- Place bottom crust in pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour sugar and butter liquid over the crust (pour slowly so that it does not run off)
- Bake 15 min in the pre-heated oven. Reduce temp to 350 deg F. Continue baking for 35-45 min, until apples are soft.
