Sprinkle the flour and sugar mixture evenly over the water in the pie crust without stirring.

Drizzle 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract over the top of the pie.

Place 5 tablespoons of butter, cut into pieces, evenly on top of the pie.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the pie at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and check the edges of the crust for browning, covering with foil if necessary.

Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before covering and refrigerating until chilled.
