Sour Cream Apple Pie With Streusel Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press the pie crust into and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and salt. Mix in the sour cream, egg and vanilla until smooth. Add apples, and stir to coat. Scrape the mixture into the pie shell.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 30 minutes more.
• While the pie is baking, prepare the topping in a medium bowl. Stir together 1/3 cup of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• After the 30 minute bake time has passed, cover the top of the pie with the crumb topping, and continue to bake for 15 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned and apples are tender. Allow the pie to cool, then refrigerate until chilled before serving.

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tbsps. flour and whisk sour cream, egg, vanilla, salt until well blended.
• Fold in apples, pour into unbaked pie shell.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Decrease temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.
• While pie is baking combine 1/3 cup sugar with cinnamon and 1/3 cup flour and walnuts; add the melted butter and stir with fork. Sprinkle streusel over pie and return to oven.
• Bake for another 20 minutes at 325 degrees.

Steps:

• For streusel topping: Combine nuts, brown sugar, cornmeal, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in food processor and pulse on/off until nuts are finely chopped. Add butter and process until small moist clumps form. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
• For filling: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Toss apples with sour cream in large bowl to coat. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over apples and toss to coat.
• Transfer filling to prepared crust. Sprinkle streusel topping over apples, covering completely. Bake pie until apples are tender and streusel is golden, tenting pie if streusel browns too quickly, about 1 hour. Transfer pie to rack and cool slightly.
• Serve pie slightly warm or at room temperature (and definitely with some vanilla ice cream!).
