# What You Need:
→ Pie Base
01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
→ Filling
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
# How to Make:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
02 - Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming and crimping the edges as preferred.
03 - Pour water evenly over the prepared pie crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend granulated sugar and all-purpose flour.
05 - Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture evenly over the surface of the water in the pie shell. Drizzle vanilla extract and a pinch of salt on top.
06 - Slice butter into thin pats and arrange uniformly across the filling.
07 - Place pie pan on the oven's lower rack. Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F.
08 - Reduce oven to 375°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. The crust should be golden and the center just set with a slight jiggle.
09 - Remove from oven and let cool completely to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to slicing for optimal texture.
