Sour Cream Apple Pie Ingredients

3 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened2 teaspoons Vanilla
1/4 c + 2 tb Sugar 2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Cinnamon 3 tablespoons All purpose flour
2 tablespoons All purpose flour 5 large Granny Smith apples
1 1/3 cups Sour cream 1 packaged Pie crust
2/3 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions for Sour Cream Apple Pie

Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 10-inch (6-cup capacity) pie plate, and flute the edge decoratively. Chill the shell while making the topping and the filling.

Make the topping:
In a small bowl blend together the butter, the sugar, the cinnamon, and the flour until the mixture is combined well and chill the topping, covered, while making the filling.

Make the filling:
In a large bowl whisk together the sour cream, the sugar, the salt, the vanilla, the eggs, and the flour until the mixture is smooth, add the apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin, and stir the filling until it is combined well.

Spoon the filling into the chilled shell, smoothing the top, and crumble the topping evenly over it. Bake the pie in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until it is golden and the apples are tender, transfer it to a rack, and let it cool completely.

My grandmother used to make a dutch apple pie at Christmas that was awesome. This is the closest recipe I have found to it. Around here a pie usually goes bad before it is eaten. Not this one!! We will definitely make it again but make sure there are others around to enjoy it as well to hard on my waistline otherwise.

This is a very unusual, but delicious apple pie. My husband said he believed it was the best apple pie he had eaten. I, too, enjoyed it very much and will be making it again. Thanks for sharing.
