Apple Pie

1 (9 inch) double crust pie crusts
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
1/4 cup water (minus 1 Tablespoon)
8 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced





Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan.
Mix syrup and apples.  
Fill crust 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.



Bake 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and continue baking for 35-45 minutes.

oh my word, is this the best apple pie ever
