Grandma Opal's Apple Pie

Grandma Opal's Apple Pie.

Let's start with the crust: 

You'll need: 

2 1/2 cups of flour 

2 sticks of COLD butter cut into 1/2 inch cubes

1 teaspoon of salt 

1teaspoon of sugar 

6-8 tablespoons of ICE water

put flour, sugar, and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times // add  half of the butter to the mixture and pulse a few more times // then add the rest of the butter and pulse a few more times // add 1/4 cup of ice water ( be sure not to add the ice ) and pulse again // then add more ice water, about a  tablespoon at a time...mixing just enough to make a crumbled mixture.

.

Now for the Grandma Opal part...

1/2 cup unsalted butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup  sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

6 sliced and peeled honey crisp apples 

preheat oven to 425 degrees // melt the butter in a saucepan. // mix in flour to form a paste // add water, sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil // reduce temperature and let simmer // layer bottom of pie pan with crust, fill with apples, then layer top of pie crust // gently pour mixture over the top of the pie crust // mixture will seep down over the apples // 

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft. #applepie #pie #grandmaopalsapplepie #itsfallyall #itsfall #fall #appleseason
