The Recipe: 

My NEW Apple Pie

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, vanilla and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.  
3. Pour over apples in large bowl.  Toss to coat. 
4. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Sprinkle with Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle.  Cover with a lattice work of crust or full crust vented.
