- 1 recipe pastry for a 9 X 2 =18 inch double crust pie
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter X 2= 1 cup
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour X 2 = 6
- 1/4 cup water X 2= 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup white sugar X 2 = 1 cup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar X 2 = 1 cup
- 8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced X 2 = 16

- Preheat oven to 425 X 2 = 850 degrees F (220 X 2 = 440 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.
- 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.
- Bake 15 x 2 = 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 X 2 = 700 degrees F (175 X 2 = 350 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 X 2 = 70 to 45 X 2 = 90 minutes, until apples are soft.
