For Stepherz......the best apple pie recipe I know...

This one is for you kiddo....

Apple Pie

5 - 6 mixed apples (4 Granny Smith, 1 to 2 McIntosh) , peeled, cored and sliced
2 9-inch pie crust pastries
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and water and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with the apples, mounded slightly. Cover with the second pie crust pastry, cutting small slits to allow for the pie to vent. Gently and slowly, pour the sugar and butter mixture over the crust, making sure that none of the mixture runs off.
Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.

Footnotes - Instead of cutting slits, try using a small apple-shaped cookie cutter to cut the top pie crust. Also, decrease the water by 1 tablespoon and replace it with 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Before adding the top pie crust, pour some of the sugar and butter mixture onto the apples, then pour the rest over the top of the pie.
