Best Apple Pie

Pie Crust for top and bottom. You can use 2 frozen pie crusts.
7 medium granny smith apples
1/2 cup butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 heaping tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 425F.
Peel, core and slice apples. Place in a large bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add 3 tbsp flour and mix, forming a paste. Add water, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Mix well and bring to a boil. boil on medium heat for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Pour 1/3 cup into a measuring cup and set aside. Add remaining filling to apples and toss well.
Pour apple mixture into prepared pie crust, mounding slightly. Slice remaining pie crust on a cutting board and place on top of pie in a lattice pattern. Brush remaining 1/3 cup cup of filling onto crust.
Cover pie loosely with aluminum foil. Lightly spray foil with Pam first to avoid sticking. Place pie on a pie sheet lined with foil, shiny side down. Bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes.Reduce heat to 350F and bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil last 10 minutes to allow crust to brown. Pie is done when apples are soft when pierced with a fork and crust is golden-brown.

Serves: 8-10 people
