Apple Pie

This past weekend I went to a Black History month event. This event was held at a church in Charleston, WV. At this event, I had the worst apple pie of my life. It was dry and the crust was burnt. The apple tasted like canned apple and was very thick. So, I have decided to put this recipe up so everyone knows how to make good apple pie. Clearly, we need reminded on how to make one of America's most traditional deserts. Write it down everyone, so we don't forget :)

Ingredients 

Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch pie

• 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 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.
