Perfect Apple Pie

This apple pie is so good! I did take pictures, but here's the thing. My camera's flash is crap. It's way overpowering so it makes pictures of food look really unappetizing. See?

Not the best. (Plus, I had some crust issues. ) So I probably won't be posting as many pictures. Unless I made food during the day when there is still enough natural light to take a decent picture.

Anyway--want to make this yummy pie? Here's the recipe:

  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (I made the Pioneer Woman's Perfect Pie Crust--very delicious)
  • 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

  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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
I didn't change a thing to this recipe! It's perfect just the way it is! Top with vanilla ice cream. Scrumptious.
