["1.", "Preheat oven to 350*F. Melt the butter in a saucepan.", "Stir in flour to form a paste.", "Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil.", "Reduce temperature and let simmer.", "2.", "Place the bottom crust in your pan.", "Fill with apples, mounded slightly.", "Cover with a lattice work crust.", "Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust.", "Pour slowly so that it does not run off.", "3.", "Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven.", "Reduce the temperature to 350*F. Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.", "My Notes: Over the years I have make a few adjustments to the original.", "Some one mentioned granny smith apples were too tart.", "Stick with the recipe on that one.", "I added a teaspoon of cinnamon, a good dash of nutmeg and a tablespoon of vanilla to the syrup prior to simmering (compensate for adding the vanilla by omiting a tablespoon of that 1/4 cup of water).", "Next, definately mix the syrup with the apples rather than trying to pour into the pie (save enough to glaze top crust).", "Do use a 9\" glass pie pan to avoid spillage.""
