8 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced evenly
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Melt butter in heavy bottom sauce pan and stir in flour until a bit of a paste forms. Stir in sugars, spices and water and bring to a boil. Reduce and let simmer until the mixture caramelizes and reduces slightly. Try you best not to take the whole pot of crazy delicious caramel to the face (maybe the fact that it's scalding hot will help, sadly it didn't for me!)
Place crust in bottom of pie pan and fill it with the apples. Make sure there are enough apples to mound slightly. Cover with the lattice and pinch the crust edges. Slowly and carefully pour the caramel mixture evenly through the lattice.
Bake 15 minutes at 425 then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35-45 minutes until apples are soft.
ENJOY!!!
