# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ 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
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F and prepare a 9-inch pie plate by placing the unbaked crust inside and crimping the edges.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
03 - Evenly sprinkle the dry mixture over the pie crust, then slowly pour the water over it ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened without stirring.
04 - Dot the surface with the pieces of unsalted butter and drizzle the vanilla extract evenly on top.
05 - Place the pie in the oven and bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
06 - Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggles in the center.
07 - Remove the pie from the oven, let it cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
