Directions:Place prepared apples in large bowl. Set aside. Preheat oven to 425º. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the 3 Tbsp. of flour and mix well, forming a paste. Add the water, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix well. Bring to a boil for 1 minutes, then reduce heat to a simmer for an additional minute. Remove from heat and reserve ⅓ c. of the filling to later brush on top of pie crust. Add remaining filling to apples. Toss well to coat. Pour apples into prepared crust, mounding slightly. Top with second pie crust (lattice design, etc.) Gently brush reserved ⅓ c. filling on top of crust. Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil, spraying bottom of foil with cooking spray so it does not stick to pie. Place pie on top of a cookie sheet to catch any drips, and bake at 425º for 10-12 minutes. Reduce heat to 350º and cook for another 50 minutes (remove foil during the last 10 minutes to allow crust to brown.) The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. Allow pie to fully cool before serving. |
