Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Recipe found here

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

1/2 C. butter

3 Tbls. all-purpose flour

1/2 C. white sugar

1/2 C. packed brown sugar

1/4 C. water

8 granny smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. 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.
3. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.

Comments:

Wonderful pie.  Most likely, the sauce will drip as the pie cooks in the oven, so I would recommend covering a cookie sheet with parchment paper and placing it on the rack below the pie.  It makes for much easier cleanup than cleaning your stove.  But trust me, it's worth it. I recommend using the French Pastry Crust recipe.
