# Ingredient List:
→ Crust
01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
→ Filling
02 - 1 1/2 cups water
03 - 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (use plant-based butter for dairy-free)
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How-To Steps:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F and allow it to reach temperature before baking.
02 - Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie plate and crimp the edges evenly.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt until fully combined.
04 - Evenly sprinkle the dry mixture over the base of the pie crust.
05 - Pour water slowly over the dry ingredients in the crust to moisten all components without stirring.
06 - Distribute butter pieces across the surface and drizzle vanilla extract over the top.
07 - Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes until the filling begins to set around the edges.
08 - Lower oven temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until filling is mostly set but slightly jiggly at the center.
09 - Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
