"Grandmas from all around can be proud of this unique recipe that brings fabulous results.  Sliced apples are mounded in a prepared pie shell, covered with a latticed crust, and just before slipping into the oven, doused with a sugary butter syrup."

INGREDIENTS:

1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie (I use the crust listed in my own list and has my sister Nadine's name in it).

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).  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 in the preheated oven.  Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Continue baking for 35-35 minutes, until apples are soft.
