Advice

Making butter pie may seem like a daunting task, but it's actually quite simple. First, start off with a pre-made or homemade pie crust. Next, mix together melted butter, sugar, and a few tablespoons of flour in a bowl. Then, pour the mixture into the pie crust and spread it evenly. Top with a layer of thinly sliced apples, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Finally, bake the butter pie in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. To ensure your butter pie turns out perfectly, be sure to use fresh apples and pre-measure all of your ingredients ahead of time.
