# What You'll Need:
→ Pie
01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
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 It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges.
03 - Pour 1 1/2 cups water directly into the crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, blend 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons flour until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle mixture over water in the pie shell.
05 - Drizzle 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over the filling and add a pinch of salt.
06 - Cut 4 tablespoons butter into thin slices and scatter them evenly across the surface.
07 - Position pie on the lower oven rack. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
08 - Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the crust turns golden and the filling achieves a gentle jiggle in the center.
09 - Remove from oven and cool completely to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing for an optimal set.
