Ingredients
8 servings
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 honey crisp apples (peeled and sliced)
- 3/4 c dark brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 c water
- 2 pie crusts
Directions
- Melt butter over low-medium heat.
- Mix in sugar.
- Add flour, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Then add water and mix together.
- Place apples in pan and coat evenly.
- Cook apples on low-medium heat until tender (8-10 minutes).
- Lightly coat pie plate with no-stick spray and place a pie crust inside pressing dough along the sides and rim.
- Pour the apples into the pie crust, then cover them with the second crust. For a lattice design, you can use a pizza cutter.
- Bake at 400°F on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden, and the apples are bubbling. If the crust is browning too quickly, particularly along the edges, cover with foil midway through baking.
