This amazing apple pie recipe belonged to my grandmother. I have never seen one quite like it! It will always be my favorite. It makes a perfect dessert for family dinners during the holidays, topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a slice of cheddar cheese.
Here’s The Ingredients
8 small Granny Smith Apples, or as needed, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3 tbsp all purpose flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 (9 inch) double crust pie pastry thawed.
Cooking Directions
Peel and core apples, then thinly slice. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour stir to form a paste; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sugars and water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Press one pastry into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie pan.
Roll out remaining pastry so it will overhang the pie by about 1/2 inch. Cut pastry into eight 1 inch strips. Place sliced apples into bottom crust, forming a slight mound. Lay four pastry strips vertically evenly spaced over apples, using longer strips in the center and shorter strips at the edges. Make a lattice crust: Fold the first and third strips all the way back so they.re almost falling off the pie. Lay one unused strips perpendicularly over the second and fourth strips, unfold the first and third strips back into their original position.
Fold the second and fourth vertical strips back. Lay one unused strips perpendicularly over top. Unfold second and fourth strips back into their original position. Repeat step 6 and 7 to weave in the last two strips of pastry. Fold and trim excess dough at the edges and pinch to secure.
Slowly and gently pour sugar butter mixture over lattice crust, making sure it seeps over sliced apples. Brush some onto lattice, but make sure it doesn’t run off the sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until apples are soft, 35 to 45 minutes.
