# Ingredient List:
→ Pie
01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 1 1/2 cups water
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges as preferred.
03 - Carefully pour water into the prepared pie crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, stir together granulated sugar and all-purpose flour until evenly blended.
05 - Sprinkle the sugar-flour mixture evenly over the water in the crust.
06 - Drizzle vanilla extract over the top, then add a pinch of salt.
07 - Cut unsalted butter into thin slices and evenly arrange over the pie filling surface.
08 - Place the pie on the lower oven rack and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F.
09 - Lower oven temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the crust is golden and filling appears mostly set with slight jiggle.
10 - Remove pie from oven and allow to cool fully at room temperature. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing to achieve optimum texture.
