# What You'll Need:
→ Pie Components
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
07 - Pinch of salt
# Method:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
02 - Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing and crimping the edges neatly.
03 - Pour 1 1/2 cups water gently into the prepared pie crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, blend 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour thoroughly. Distribute this mixture evenly over the water in the crust.
05 - Drizzle 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over the surface and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
06 - Cut the butter into thin slices and arrange evenly over the filling.
07 - Position the pie on the lower rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
08 - Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue to bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
09 - Remove pie from oven and cool completely to room temperature. For best texture, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
