Sour Cream Apple Pie
Sour cream apple pie is easy and delicious.
Crust:
You can make your own pie crust using your favourite recipe (the one off the Crisco box works perfectly well) or use store bought. If you want a quick an easy recipe use this Pastry Dough from Epicurious. Pastry with butter always tastes better but a vegetable shortening or lard crust is just fine in my opinion.
Filling:
- 3 C peeled, quartered and sliced apples (any old kind will do)
- Zest and juice of one lemon
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 C white sugar
- 1 C sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
Topping:
- 1/4 C brown sugar
- 1/4 C flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp cold butter
- 1/4 C Oats
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Slice up the apples and toss with the lemon zest and juice.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and flour together and then whisk in the sour cream, egg and vanilla.
- Fold in the apples and gently mix to coat.
- Pour apple mixture into your unbaked pie crust.
- Bake @375 F for 15 minutes.
- While the pie is baking mix the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together and cut in the butter and work it into the mixture until you get a cornmeal consistency (you can use a couple of knives, a pastry cutter or your fingers).
- Add the oats and mix until you have a nice crumbly mixture.
- Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle topping evenly over the top.
- Return the pie to the oven for another 20-25 minutes (check it at 20 and if it’s set remove it)
- Remove from oven and cool completely. Pop it in the fridge until ready to eat.
