Steps:

- 2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line 9-inch pie pan with 1 pie crust from above recipe.
- 3. Combine 1 Tablespoon of sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoon of flour in bottom of crust.

- 5. cook over medium heat until boiling and thickened, stirring constantly. be careful not to burn.
- 6. pour over apples and butter. Stir to coat them well, and pour into pie crust.
- 7. place second crust over the apples, and pinch together along the edges to form a fluted crust. Cut vents into the top crust (I cut little designs in mine to make it pretty.)
- 8. wrap aluminum foil loosely around the edges to keep the crust from burning as it cooks
- 9. bake about 40 minutes, removing the foil for the last 5 minutes, until the crust is well browned
