• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Place the bottom crust in your greased 9-inch pie pan. Set aside.
2. Place apples in a large mixing bowl. Set aside
3. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste.
4. Add water, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
5. Reserve 2-3 tablespoons sugar mixture. Then toss remaining sugar mixture with apples. Toss or gently stir to fully coat apples.
6. Fill pie pan with sliced apples.
7. Cover with a lattice work crust. (You can also use a traditional one-piece crust top, BUT make sure you have large open slits cut for the next step to work properly)

9. Bake in a 350° oven for about an hour, or until apple are soft and crust is golden. If you notice your crust is getting too brown, cover with foil and continue baking.
