Apple Pie

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Bring the pie crusts to room temperature. 

3. Wash and dry apples: core and slice. Remove the peel and cut the slices in half again. (I have a 10-slice corer and I cut them in half again, but something like this would work.)

4.  Place the apple slices in a large bowl and add the cinnamon. Stir to cover the apples. 

5. In a small pot, melt the butter. 

6. Add the flour to the butter and whisk to combine. 

7. Add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, whisking constantly. 

8. Pour the cooked mixture over the apples an stir to coat them evenly. 

9. Place one crust in the bottom of a sprayed pie pan. 

10. Add apples to the crust, mounding slightly in the center. They will cook down considerably. 

11. Cut the other crust into strips and weave into a lattice on top of the apples.  

12. Tuck the ends under and brush the lattice with egg wash. (1 egg beaten plus 1 T. of water)

13. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the lattice. 

14. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. 

15. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes or until the apples are the desired texture. 

16. Cool for at least one hour before serving.
