02 - 1 1/2 cups water
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar

# Step-by-Step:

03 - Pour 1 1/2 cups water evenly into the prepared pie crust.
04 - Mix together 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons flour in a bowl until fully incorporated. Sprinkle mixture evenly over water in the crust.
05 - Drizzle 1 teaspoon vanilla extract atop the mixture and add a pinch of salt.
06 - Cut 4 tablespoons butter into thin slices and arrange evenly across the surface.

08 - Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Filling should be set with a slight jiggle and crust golden.
09 - Remove pie from oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing to achieve a firm, creamy texture.
