True confession: I have never made a pie in my life.
But. My mom has. And she passed this recipe down to my best friend in high school.
Last weekend all my best buds from high school got together for a girl’s weekend. And Heather baked The Pie.
That’s the pie baker on the bottom left. And me on the upper right, but you probably knew that.
Sour Cream Apple Pie
Filling:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3 cups peeled, sliced tart apples (about 1 1/4 pounds of slices)
- 1 9″ unbaked pie shell, frozen or chilled in the freezer for at least 30 minutes
Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Mix together sour cream, sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and egg. Add apples, mixing carefully to coat well.
Put filling into a pie shell and bake at 400 degrees initially for 25 min.
Mix together all ingredients for the topping until the mixture resembes coarse crumbs. Remove the pie from oven and sprinkle with Cinnamon Crumb Topping. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Let cool for a hour before serving.
Eat. Preferably with friends. 
Hey, the best desserts are made by other people! lol
Everything tastes better when eaten with good long-time friends. Everyone looks so happy. That pie sounds so yummy.
When you call a pie “The Pie”, then I know I should probably try it!
Oh look, another brilliant Heather!
That pie sounds divine.
Even I have made a pie! And I hate baking…
I am sure it was delish! Cute picture!
How cool that you still meet up with your friends from high school! Mine are scattered all over the world. The pie sounds great, anything with sour cream in it sounds great to me
Sour cream?! Interesting… I may have to try this out just to see how the sour cream and egg are.
You have never made a pie?!?! Seriously?!
Mmm…pie…
Uh! Bring it on!!! And there is nothing better than pie with good friends.
Oh, a new twist on Apple Pie – thank you! Must try.
I have never baked a pie either and it’s not something I’m looking to start now. My partner, the pie lover in the family, bakes them – I’ll have to pass this on to him. He’s always so excited for this season because he feels like there’s no limits on the amount of pie he can consume.
My specialty pie is chocolate cream (dump cooked pudding into pie crust), but I prefer cakes and cheesecakes instead:)
Have a nice holiday Jill. Love the photo of all you gals.
I’ve been looking for a new apple pie recipe, this could be the one. Thanks for sharing.
I made a pie once. It must have been atrocious, because my husband whined, “Do we eeeeeeeeeeeeever have to eat this agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain???”
Mmmm. Sounds good! I think I might try it for Thanksgiving.
Sour cream? Hm, idk…
I made this yesterday–soooooooooo goood!!! Thanks!
I have never made a pie either! Glad I am not alone!
Seems like you have learned the art of delegation – let the friend make the pie and then enjoy the end product and the good times with friends which follow.
I think I could get along with this Heather girl. I will make this pie soon!
I never would have thought about adding sour cream to an apple pie – how unusual! Apple pie is one of the best desserts that I make, but I’m usually too lazy to make it because of all of the peeling and chopping.
Friends are the best part of eating pie. Especially when someone other than you made it. I wish I still stayed in touch with my best hs friends. But considering one is in New Orleans, the other in DC and there are 6 children between us, it’d be hard to get together
I have never heard of such a thing as a sour cream apple pie! It sounds yummy and intriguing.
