Ingredients
Pastry Shell
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 pound softened butter
Topping
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Filling
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups tart apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Pastry Shell
- Combine all ingredients. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to desired size. Place in a lightly floured pie tin and trim to fit, then crimp the edges with a fork or with two slightly dampened fingers.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Topping
- In a small mixing bowl, combine ingredients, mixing with a fork until small, crumbly lumps are formed. Set aside for later use.
Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Blend with an electric mixer to combine ingredients. Add sour cream, apples and salt. Blend again.
- Pour pie filling into the unbaked pie shell and turn quickly, several times, to level out the filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle on the toping, and continue to take until done, usually about 45 minutes.
- Cool, then refrigerate, but always serve at room temperature for maximum flavor.
