Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups diced apples
⅓ cup sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup chilled butter, diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press pie crust into and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Stir 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and salt in a medium bowl; mix in sour cream, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add apples, and stir to coat. Scrape the mixture into prepared pie shell.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 30 minutes more.
While pie is baking, prepare the topping: stir 1/3 cup of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
After the 30-minute bake time has passed, cover top of the pie with crumb topping, and continue to bake until topping is lightly browned and apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Allow pie to cool, then refrigerate until chilled before serving.
Cook’s Note
I highly recommend that you use a high-quality sour cream — it really does make the difference.
