Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c water
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 c tart apples- peeled, cored and thinly sliced- about 6 apples
2 Tbsp sugar- granulated
2 pie crust shells- either store bought or homemade

Steps:

1. Mix together the apples, brown sugar water and lemon juice in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 7-8 minutes or JUST until apples are tender.
2. Mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt; stir into apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat.
3. Stir in the vanilla and butter or margarine; cool.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pastry (or use store-bought).Turn apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover with top crust in which you have cut slits; flute the edges. Cover edge of pie crust with foil (or cut out an aluminum pan--keeping just the edge) to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
