   • Combine apples, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice in a pot.
   • Cover and cook over medium heat for about five minutes until the apples are just tender.

2. Create the Syrup:

   • In a separate bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
   • Stir this mixture into the apple mixture in the pot.
   • Cook, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens, approximately 2 minutes.

3. Add Flavor:

   • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla, butter, and margarine until fully incorporated.

4. Prepare the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).

5. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Roll out your pastry and line a pie pan with it.

6. Assemble the Pie:

   • Transfer the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie pan.
   • Cover the filling with a top crust, making slits in it for ventilation.
   • Seal and flute the edges of the crust to secure the pie.

7. Bake to Perfection:

   • To prevent excessive browning, cover the top of the pie with a 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil.
   • Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.
   • Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the crust to crisp up.
