03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar

03 - Pour the water directly into the prepared pie crust.
04 - In a mixing bowl, blend sugar and flour until thoroughly combined.
05 - Sprinkle the sugar-flour mixture evenly over the water in the crust.
06 - Drizzle vanilla extract over the pie and add a pinch of salt.

08 - Carefully transfer pie to the lower rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F.
09 - Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
10 - Remove pie from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing for optimal texture.
