Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 

Peel, core, and slice apples. Toss in a big glass bowl with lemon juice and cinnamon. 

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour and mix well. Add water and both sugars. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium, watching closely for “caramel” to turn amber.

Pour ½ of caramel over apples and stir well. 

Fill pie crust with apple mixture.

Cover with top crust made into a tight (close-knit) lattice pattern.

Carefully pour remaining caramel over the lattice work into the pie.

Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce oven to 375 degrees. Continue baking for another 30 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft and crust begins to nicely brown.

Cool completely and serve with homemade "no churn" vanilla ice cream.  (Recipe can be found in my “Notes” on Facebook here.)
