Grandma Approved Apple Pie

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 apples - peeled cored and sliced

Instructions

For the crust

  1. In your food processor, blend together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Pulse in cubed butter until a crumbly mixture forms. Mix your egg with the cold water and pulse in until the dough comes together. You may or may not need an extra drop or two of water.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet or sauce pan. Whisk in flour until combined. Add sugars and then add water and whisk; bring to a boil and then let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the bottom crust in your pie pan. Mix the apples with the sauce and then fill the crust with the Apples. Cover with the lattice top. (I like to scrape the hardened sauce from the pan with a wooden spook. You can add the bits of hardened sauce to the top if you like)
  4. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees with loosely covered foil. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and Apples are to your liking as far as softness goes. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Sometimes, I will toss the Apples first with Cinnamon before mixing them with the sauce.
