Creamy Apple Pie

When my parents got married, my Gogo gave my mom a cookbook of her recipes and it’s such a cherished item. One of her many recipes that I remember growing up was her sour cream + apple pie. She made it every Thanksgiving (with a cherry and pumpkin pie, too!) and always would comment “this is Robbie’s favorite (my dad).”

for pie
2 cups tart apples, sliced
3/4 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
2 tbsp flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
sprinkle of salt

for topping
1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 450F. Put apples in the prepared pie shell (unbaked). Mix sour cream with the egg and dry ingredients, pour over the apples. Bake for 15 minutes.

While pie is baking, mix together the topping ingredients. Remove pie from oven, drop oven temperature down to 325F and sprinkle mixture over top of pie. Bake an additional 20 minutes.
