When I make apple pie, this is the recipe that I usually use, it always turns out great -prep time does not include preparing the pastry. Ingredients:
1 large pastry pie crust (to fit bottom of a 9 or 10-inch deep dish pie plate) |
7 -8 large baking apples (granny smith is best!) |
1/2 lemon, juice of |
3 tablespoons sour cream |
1 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1/3 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 nutmeg |
3 tablespoons melted butter |
1/2 cup flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup cold butter |
Directions:
1. Line the bottom of a deep dish pie plate with pastry, flute edges.
2. Peel and slice apples thinly and place in a bowl.
3. Squeeze the lemon juice over the sliced apples; toss to coat with the juice.
4. Then mix in the 3 tablespoons sour cream, mix well; set aside.
5. Prepare the crumb topping.
6. To make the crumb topping: in a small bowl mix the flour and sugar together; cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
7. In another small bowl, mix the 1-1/2 tablespoon flour, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
8. Pour the flour mixture over the apples; toss well to coat.
9. Spoon the apple mixture into prepared pie shell.
10. Drizzle with the 3 tablespoons melted butter.
11. Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
12. Place the pie on a foil-lined cookie sheet (too catch any spills).
13. Bake on the lowest oven rack position at 375 degrees for approximately 1 hour, or until the filling is bubbly and apples feel soft.
14. **Note** if you find that the topping is browning too much, cover lightly with foil.
