Things You'll Need

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups apple, sliced
• pie crust
• 6 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup butter
• cinnamon
• mixing bowl and spoon
• cutting board and knife

Instructions

1. Gather ingredients. This is a good time to remove butter and packaged pie crust from the refrigerator, so they may soften. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 

   Slice 2 cups of apple. I used large Honeycrisp apples and only needed one and a half. If you are using smaller apples, you may need up to three.

3. 

   Mix the 2 cups sliced apples, 1 beaten egg, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a bowl.

4. 

   Unroll the pie crust in a pie pan. You may also prepare a homemade crust.

5. 

   Pour pie filling into the pie crust.

6. 

   Cook the pie at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

7. 

   While the pie is cooking, mix together the ingredients for the pie topping: 1/2 cup sugar, 6 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup butter, and a dash of cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.

8. 

   Remove the pie from the oven. Sprinkle the topping mixture on the pie surface.

9. 

   Return the pie to the oven for an additional 45 minutes. You can protect the pie crust (as shown in the photo at left) if the crust becomes too well done.

10. 

    Remove pie from oven and enjoy!
