01 - 1 uncooked 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
# Directions:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Fit the uncooked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges securely.
03 - Pour 1 1/2 cups water directly into the prepared pie crust.
04 - Mix granulated sugar and all-purpose flour in a bowl until fully blended, then evenly sprinkle over the water in the crust.
05 - Drizzle vanilla extract across the surface, then add a pinch of salt.
06 - Slice unsalted butter into thin, uniform pieces and lay them evenly over the top.
07 - Transfer pie to the lower oven rack and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
08 - Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), continue baking an additional 20 minutes until the crust is golden and filling just set with a slight jiggle.
09 - Remove pie from oven and cool completely at room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing to achieve optimal texture.
