Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes

Equipment

  • 9 inch pie dish

Ingredients

  • your favourite pie crust (enough for two, 9 inch pie plates)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom optional
  • 8 medium gala apples
  • egg for egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F. Peel and core your apples and cut them into 1/8 inch thin slices.
  • Place your apples in your pie plate lined with your bottom crust and make a lattice crust on the top. Put the pie on a baking sheet (preferably one with raised edges) to catch any drips during the baking process.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter. Thourougly stir in the flour to make a paste then add in your water, sugars, spices and vanilla.
  • Remove from heat and slowly pour on top of your pie, making sure none of the sauce runs over the edge and that the pie is evenly coated. Whisk the egg and with a basting or pastry brush, brush the edges of the pie with the egg wash.
  • Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 and continue to bake for about 35-50 minutes or until a butter knife goes through the cooked apples easily.
  • After baking, let your pie rest until completely cool (about 2 -3 hours) to ensure its not watery. Serve on its own or with ice cream :)
