I got this recipe over at All Recipes. I made two of them for Thanksgiving and they were a huge hit. I used store-brand pre-rolled pie crusts and used glass deep-dish pie plates. I lined the oven rack with foil. There was a bit of drippage.

With one I added cinnamon, with the other 3 tablespoons of chopped crystalized ginger. Part of the success I attribute to the Mutsu apples used. We get them at the apple orchards here in north Georgia in the fall. They are delish and did not turn to mush in the pie.

Enjoy!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

submitted to all recipes by Rebecca Clyma

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Debbie, what does that hot syrup thing do to the crust? Does it seep into the pie?

I saw that recipe at allrecipes, and thought it was a little unusual. I just might have to try it!

There's another one at recipezaar, where you sprinkle flour over the crust, then stick it under running water or something. Let me see if I can find it....

 
Hi Sandi - It was a fairly thick mixture by the time I poured it over the apple mound, so it

pretty much just seeped through the apples and flavored everything.
