Tasty Apple Pie

As promised, here is the apple pie recipe I made for Thanksgiving.

1 recipe pie crust

1/2 cup butter
3 Tbl flour
1/4 cup water minus 1 Tbl
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbl vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced

Melt the butter and stir in flour. Add the rest of the ingredients (minus apples) and simmer until slightly thickened (2-3 minutes). Toss apples with this mixture and fill your pie crust. Add your top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until your apples are tender. I find that if you bake it at 350, you don't have to cover the pie with aluminum. The pie will turn out nice and golden brown. Let the pie cool for several hours so the glaze thickens. If you want to eat the pie warm, just put it in the oven on 250 or 300 for a few minutes.
