Ingredients
Scale
- 8 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 (9-inch) double-crust pie pastry, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth.
- Add the white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Place one pastry crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Arrange the sliced apples evenly inside.
- Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the apples, allowing it to coat them.
- Cover with the second pastry crust, seal the edges, and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Granny Smith apples provide a delicious tart contrast to the sweet filling.
- You can combine Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp or Fuji for extra flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Brush the top crust with egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
