My Apple Pie

6 Granny Smith apples, as needed

½ cup butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

½ cup white sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup water

double-crust pie pastry see recipe

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir to form a paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add both 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 up the sides of a pie pan. Roll out remaining pastry so it will overhang the pie by about 2 cm.

Place peeled and sliced sliced apples in the bottom crust, forming a slight mound. Pour the sugar-butter mixture over the apples.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 175 degrees C and continue baking until the crust is golden, 35 to 45 minutes.
