Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Prepare pie crust for a 9" double crust pie.

1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup (minus 1 tablespoon) water
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
sliced up apples ( I used about 5 cups of macintosh)

Preheat oven to 350.  Melt butter in saucepan.  Stir in flour to form paste.  Add water, cinnamon, vanilla, sugars, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low.  Place bottom crust in pie plate.  Brush bottom and sides with egg white.  Fill with apples, mounded slightly.  Pour 3/4 of warm cinnamon/sugar mixture onto apples.  Cover with lattice crust.  Brush or spoon remaining 1/4 of mixture over crust.  Bake for an hour or until the visible crust is lightly browned.

* Place pan with foil underneath pie to catch drippings!
