Ingredients:

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
unsalted butter - 1/2 cup
all-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons
water - 1/4 cup
white sugar - 1/2 cup
packed brown sugar - 1/2 cup
Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced - 8
Never Fail Pie Crust (for top/lattice)
all-purpose flour - 4 cups
butter flavored shortening - 2 cups
white sugar - 1 tablespoon
salt - 1 teaspoon
ice water - 1/2 cup
egg - 1
distilled white vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Instructions:

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.
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.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
