This is my take on the Grandma Ople recipe. Use a standard 9in pie pan. Use salted butter or add a pinch of salt to the butter and sugar mix. Use a mix of apples but use more high acid apples than sweet.

    Steps for Completion
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel and slice the apples.
  2. Melt the butter in a pot. Add the flour and whisk to form a paste. Add water, sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil then reduce temperature and let simmer.
  3. Put one crust at the bottom of the pie pan and then fill with the apple slices. Pour the sugar butter mix over the slices. Do this slowly so it has time to seep into the apples below.
  4. Slice the other crust into strips and then cover the apples with a lattice work crust.
  5. Mix the egg yolk and water. Brush the mixture over the top of the crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at the 425°F and then reduce to 350°F for another 45 minutes until apples are soft.
