Silver Palate Sour Cream Apple Pie was the most popular apple pie at The Silver Palate, the gourmet take-out shop that Julee Rosso and I opened in New York City in 1977. This pie will win raves in your home too! When chopping the walnuts, make sure they're not too fine. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
5 tablespoons sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter |
6 tablespoons cold shortening |
4 to 6 tablespoons apple juice |
2/3 cup sour cream |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
5 or 6 tart apples, peeled and sliced |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. 1. Prepare crust: Sift flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a bowl. Cut in the butter and shortening with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Moisten with just enough apple juice, tossing ingredients lightly with a fork. Form dough into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. 2. Cut off 1/3 of the dough and return it to the refrigerator. Roll out the other 2/3 between 2 sheets of wax paper. Line a greased 9-inch pie pan with the dough. Trim overhang and crimp decoratively. Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. 3. Whisk all filling ingredients, except apples, in a bowl. Add apples, then spoon into the pastry-lined pie pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over filling.
4. 4. Roll out the remaining dough between wax paper to form a circle 10 inches in diameter. Cut into strips 1/2-inch wide and arrange lattice-fashion over apples; trim ends of strips and crimp edges decoratively.
5. 5. Bake pie in the center of the oven until the juices are bubbling and the apples are tender, about 55-60 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if the crust browns too quickly.) Serve warm or cooled.
