Ingredients

1/2 Cup unsalted butter

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 Cup apple juice

1/2 Cup granulated sugar

1/2 Cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin

lemon juice

*Mama's Easy Pie Crust Recipe

Directions

Have your pie crust ready first. See Mama's Easy Pie Crust.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.(220 degrees C).

Melt butter in large saucepan.

Stir in flour to make a paste. Add apple juice, white sugar and brown sugar; bring to a boil.

Reduce temperature and let simmer for about 2 minutes or so.

Add vanilla & cinnamon to the mixture.

If you have cut or sliced the apples, cover them with lemon juice so they won't turn brown.

Toss them around with the lemon juice in a bowl to cover evenly. Add the apples to the butter mixture in the saucepan.

Have your crust ready in the pie pan. It's a good idea to put this pie on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper since the pie could bubble over in the oven.

Carefully put the apples in the pie crust lined pan. You could put a lattice top over the pie or cut out cute shapes with a cookie cutter to place over the apples.

Whatever you feel like placing on top of pie.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C) Continue to bake for 45 minutes, sheilding pie after 10 minutes .. so it doesn't get too brown around the edges.

I like the apple juice addition - this sounds sooooo good...thanks for sharing it with us (and I have to check out your pie crust recipe now, as I'm trying to learn to make my own instead of always using the refrigerator crusts...nothing like homemade!).

I made this today, with Jett's pie crust recipe, and all I can say is: MAKE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Oh my goodness - the combo of white and brown sugar gave the filling an almost caramel like taste, the apple juice sweetened it up even more, and the tart Granny Smiths were the perfect offset to the sweet syrup filling. You HAVE to make this - just phenomenal. My husband can't quit raving about it! (my top crust broke as I was trying to put it on the pie, so my pictures didn't turn out "pretty", but if you want me to send it to you, let me know!)

I posted the picture for you Jett - I warned you that I had some "difficulties" getting the top crust on (it tore)...hey, I'm still learning this whole homemade pie crust thing...and FYI, your pie crust held up BEAUTIFULLY on day 2 (my true test of a good crust - can it remain flaky as it sits for a day or two?).

Thank you sooooo much!! My mama used to put her pies in the top oven. With the pilot light on, it would keep the pie "warm" and it always tasted fresh out of the oven!! She also would make a glaze out of powdered sugar and water that she would drizzle over the top. I sure do miss her.

My mom also would make something called "Poor Man Pies" out of the crust. She would have extra crust leftover and sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on strips of dough and bake them. We called it poor man pie because we would joke around and say we were poor and could not afford any fruit for filling! We then would drizzle the powdered sugar & water glaze over it and eat it up!!!
