Author Holly Waterfall

Ingredients

  • 1 double pie crust (just double my homemade pie crust
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 8-10 Tablespoons all-purpose flour or more if paste isn't formed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6-7 granny smith apples , peeled, cored, and sliced

Instructions

  • Melt 1 cup butter in a sauce pan. Stir in 6 Tablespoons flour to form a paste. (If paste isn't formed, add 1T more at a time until paste is formed. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with sliced apples, mounded slightly. Top with about half of the sugary caramel sauce.
  • Cover with a top crust, using whatever technique you feel comfortable with. A full crust, lattice work, or some other variation you prefer. Gently pour the remaining caramel over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off. Top with a few shakes of cinnamon.
  • Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Once finished baking, let sit out for at least 4 hours, preferably closer to 12 hours. This is a perfect pie to make the day before.
