Ingredients

• 1 Unbaked 9-inch pie shell
• 4 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for filling)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples and sour cream. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, egg, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture into the apples and sour cream.

Step 4

Pour the apple filling into the unbaked pie shell and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 5

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 6

While the pie is baking, prepare the crumb topping. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

After 25 minutes of baking, remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the filling.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Step 10

Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
