Grandma Ople’s Famous Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored, and sliced
Directions
A great apple pie takes time. It takes commitment. And it takes love. Gather your family—parents, children, grandparents—and turn Grandma Ople’s Apple Pie into an annual tradition.
- Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a pan on the stove, as it begins to melt stir in the flour to form a paste.
- Once the paste has started to form, add in the white sugar, brown sugar, and water and bring all of the ingredients to a boil. Then, reduce the temperature and let it simmer on the stove for 5 minutes.
- While the mixture simmers, place the bottom crust in your pie dish. Fill the dish with the sliced apples.
- Lattice the top layer of crust together and place on top of the pie; pinch the edges together.
- Gently pour the sugar and butter mixture over the crust slowly so that it does not run over the edges.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
Baking a pie with love is as simple as that! Cut a slice for you and your loved ones and enjoy the time spent together this holiday.
