She outranges you hard. and her DPS is just insane. Her early poke with Q is insanely strong especially with Comet. Rush MR against her.

PROS

Short/MidRange Mage

is mandatory on Annie. This is her only escape/engage. Nothing else to expand for.
is for the extra mobility and engage.
is my go to if I know I can get a kill from my lane and for self healing champions.
is my go to when facing Assassins. It will wreck their combo by a lot.
is my go to as it gives pressure to other lanes, especially botlane where
Summon: Tibbers eat ADCs for dinner. Always remind your botlane to ward at the brushes.

LeBlanc because of her mobility.

These two items are mandatory on Annie as it gives her Mpen and more AP. Void Staff is now a must have since MR is prevalent in every match.
Get Void Staff as early as possible (preferably 3rd-4th item), even if there is still less MR. They will stack some soon. It's better to get ready than having no damage later i the game.
Viable Items

People say RoA is a must have on Annie, but for me it's not. It does give her sustain and AP. But its utility isn't that good enough late game and you could possibly replace this with another item late game. I would recommend having this to champions that have a medium-hard match ups. It is a good item if you are going to play passive.

Good item on Annie late game, you can replace boots with Lich Bane to proc its passive which is very good with Annie's 575 auto attack Range.

Cheap, decent AP, Movement speed, CDR. Good first item and the utility that you get from spooky ghosts active can scout enemy junglers/slow other champions.

Get this item if you're really ahead and get kills easily. Pair this with

Others say that this item isn't good on Annie since she isn't that mana hungry but for me, this item is good on her. The combo of

This is a very good item on Annie. It gives Ap and movement speed, also the active gives another engage tool for her.

Get this if your team needs more engage and gap-close. You can also use this for wave clearing.
Levels 1-5
At this stage, you may want to prioritize farming. I recommend playing passively-aggressive. Try to harass your enemy with your Q+W+AA when in range. Use your pyromania stacks to zone out your enemy and as soon as you have used it on a minion, back off since you are very vulnerable to ganks. Don't ever feel arrogant and overextend even if your match-up is really easy(for example, Teemo) because as Annie, you are susceptible to ganks and you have little to no escape.
Level 6
Level 6 is Annie's first powerspike due to her fearsome ult,

If you have pushed out your lane, it's a very good time to roam and help your teammates in their lanes. I usually replace my trinket to

Mid game is the part of the game where Annie shines. As the enemy doesn't have the needed tank to survive her burst yet, Annie is a force to be reckoned with in this part of the game. Try to utilize this and end the game as early as possible.
In late game, your damage won't be much of a threat as it used to be, but your stuns are still as threatening as it was. In teamfights, stun as many enemies as possible. With your stun up, they would be really scared because 1 3-5 man stun can lead to their defeat.
