Ingredients

• 6 cups Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 pieces Unbaked pie crust (9-inch, homemade or store-bought)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice your apples into even slices, and set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a paste.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water to the pan. Stir until the mixture is smooth, and bring it to a simmer.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 3–5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Fill the pie crust with the sliced apples, mounding them slightly in the center. Sprinkle the apples with ground cinnamon for extra flavor.

Step 8

Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. Lay the strips over the apples, weaving them for the lattice effect.

Step 9

Trim any excess dough from the lattice, and press the edges of the crust to seal it.

Step 10

Carefully pour the sugar and butter mixture evenly over the lattice crust, ensuring it seeps between the lattice strips and coats the apples.

Step 11

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).

Step 12

After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the filling set.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
