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.

Author: Burt Johnson

Recipe type: Desert

Serves: 8 slices

Ingredients

• 1 Pie Crust (see yesterday's "dough-based pie crust" recipe)
• ½ cup unsalted Butter
• 3 tbsp Flour
• ¼ cup Water
• ½ cup Sugar
• ½ cup Brown Sugar
• 8 Granny Smith Apples

Instructions

1. Core and slice the Granny Smith apples
2. Preheat oven to 425 deg.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste.
4. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temp and let simmer.
5. 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)
6. Bake 15 min in the pre-heated oven. Reduce temp to 350 deg F. Continue baking for 35-45 min, until apples are soft.
