Scandinavian Sour Cream Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 3 c apples (cored, peeled, each segment cut into 3 pieces)
- 3 T flour
- 2/3 c sugar (white)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 c sour cream
- 1/3 c flour
- 1/2 c cold butter
- 1/3 c sugar (1/2 white; 1/2 brown)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt, and coat the apples in it all. Beat together the egg and vanilla, and add to the apple mix. Fold in the sour cream. Bake in a 9" pie shell for 40 min. at 350 degrees. Mix the topping while the pie bakes, by cutting the cold butter into the flour, sugar, and cinnamon until the texture is crumbly. (You can use all white sugar, but a little brown sugar makes it more attractive. You can use all brown sugar, but it overwhelms the delicate flavors of the filling.) Cover the baked pie with this topping and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
