I made this pie for Thanksgiving dinner and it was phenomenal!!!!! Slightly different than traditional apple pie, more like apple crisp with crust on top. The caramel flavor of the apples really makes this pie something special. Definitely a keeper…..
Recipe adapted from Allrecipe.com Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
Ingredients:
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all- purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
8-10 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 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. Add 1 tsp vanilla to suagr and butter mixture. Slowly pour half of the sugar and butter mixture over the apples. Cover with a lattice work crust. Slowly pour remaining sugar and butter mixture over crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the tempeture to 350 degrees F (175 Degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
