Caramel Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (9 inch) prepared pie crusts
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
8 granny smith apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
lemon juice

Preparation

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, store in a bowl with some lemon juice to keep from turning brown until needed.
Preheat Oven to 425\u00b0F.
Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
Stir in flour to make a paste.
Add water, vanilla, sugars and spices and bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce temperature and simmer, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and pour approximately 3/4 of caramel mixture over apples and toss to coat.
Place bottom crust in a deep dish pie pan.
Fill with apple slices (there will be a lot, create a mound).
Cover with a lattice top crust and pour remaining caramel over the top, pouring carefully so it doesn't spill out. Or toss all caramel with apples and cover with a vented top crust.
Place on a cookie sheet (for runoff) and bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350F and cover pie crust and continue baking for 35-45 minutes or until apples are soft.
