Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Pour 1.5 cups of water into the unbaked pie shell.

In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until well combined.

Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture evenly into the pie crust using hands, without stirring.

Drizzle 2 teaspoons of vanilla over the top of the mixture in the pie crust.

Place 5 pats of butter on top of the pie.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and cover the edges with foil if needed, then bake for another 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the pie from the oven; it should be bubbling and boiling inside.

Let the pie cool completely for a few hours, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

After refrigerating, cut the pie using kitchen shears along the cut in the foil to remove the pie.
