# What You'll Need:
→ Pie Base
01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
02 - 1 1/2 cups water
→ Filling
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 Steps:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Fit the unbaked 9-inch pie crust firmly into a pie pan, and crimp the edges as preferred.
03 - Pour 1 1/2 cups water evenly into the prepared pie crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, blend together granulated sugar and all-purpose flour until homogeneous.
05 - Sprinkle the sugar-flour mixture uniformly over the water. Drizzle vanilla extract and add a pinch of salt.
06 - Slice unsalted butter into thin pats and distribute them over the surface.
07 - Position pie on the lower oven rack. Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
08 - Lower oven setting to 375°F (190°C), continue baking for 20 minutes, until crust is golden and filling gently jiggles in the center.
09 - Remove pie from oven. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing for optimal texture.
