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 packed brown sugar

8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced



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. 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 in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.  

Answer 3

My mom has been making this pie for nearly 40 years. It's basically fool proof and really yummy!  I must admit, I hate making pie crust so I use the refrigerated stuff.  I think it's fine.

Dutch Apple Pie

2 ½ c. fresh tart apples (chunks)

½ c. water

Cook just until boiling. If apples aren't tart, use small amount of lemon juice.

Mix and add to apples:

1 c. sugar

1 T. flour

½ t. cinnamon

¼ t. nutmeg

dash salt

Cook just until it thickens then remove from heat.

Mix the following:

3 T. brown sugar

1 T. flour

dash of nutmeg and cinnamon

2 slices of bread (prefer heels and cracked wheat)

2 T. butter

Crumble this all with fingers until mixed well. Pour apples into unbaked 9" pie shell. Spread the crumb mixture on top. Sprinkle with a few chopped pecans, if desired. Bake at 375° until crust is brown.
