Instructions

1. Make the pie crust and chill it while you prepare the filling. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 Tbsp flour and simmer 1 minute, whisking constantly.
3. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup water until smooth, then whisk in 1 cup sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 3 minutes, stirring often, then remove from heat. The sauce should be thick and pourable; do not overcook it.
4. Peel, core and thinly slice about 7 cups of apples, roughly 1/4 inch thick, and put them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and toss. Pour the sauce over and stir to coat.
5. On a floured surface, roll the bottom crust to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Pile the apple mixture in the center, keeping filling off the edges.
6. Roll the second crust to an 11-inch round and cut 10 strips of even thickness. Weave them into a lattice over the top. Beat 1 egg with 1 Tbsp water and brush over the top.
7. Bake at 425°F in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 350°F and bake 45 more minutes, until the apples are soft when pierced with a knife, and the filling has been bubbling through the vents for at least 5 minutes.
8. Let the pie rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
