1/2 cup unsalted butter

3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 

1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon 

1/3 cup white sugar

8 (35oz) Granny Smith apples-peeled, cored and sliced

Procedures

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour to make a pale roux.

3. Add in the water, nutmeg, cinnamon, white and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, once boiling reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes.

4. Roll the pie dough out. Place the bottom crust in your pan.

5. Mound the apples on top of the crust, this mound will higher than the edges of the crust.

6. Gently and slowly pour the sugar/butter liquid over the apples.

7. Cover the top of the apples with top layer of crust or streudel topping.

a. If using crust, cut slits into it. Can do an egg wash with sugar for color and texture.

b. Cover the outer edges of crust with foil; this will help prevent burning.

8. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-40 minutes .... until the apples are soft.
