Apple Pie

• recipe for a pie crust, store bought pie crust, depends how much time you have.
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
• Enough Granny Smith apples to fill a pie crust - I used about 4, but they were pretty big.

  I was too lazy to make my own pie crust, even though I know they're easy. I used this:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Add water, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and bring to a boil. I used about 1 tsp of nutmeg and maybe 1 tbsp of cinnamon... I didn't measure. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. I clearly suck at taking pictures, but my sister and friend are coming over today to make one of these with crabapples, so will try to do a little better...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Put this thing on a cookie tray or something! There is some runoff once it starts to bake and heat up and you don't want that in your oven.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft. 

This will make you a hit with the new in-laws, trust me.
