Ingredients

1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups diced apples
⅓ cup sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup chilled butter, diced

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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening
6 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
¾ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

To Make Crust: In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cup flour and salt. Cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water at a time to dough until it is moist enough to form into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with a piece of aluminum foil; it should cover bottom and sides of pan. Lightly flour the foil. Press the dough into the pan.
To Make Filling: In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently toss apples, raisins and walnuts with cinnamon mixture until coated. Fill the crust with the apple mixture.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool.
To Make Icing: In a small bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle over top of cooled pie.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pastry for 2 pie crusts
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 c tart apples, diced
4 canned pear halves cut in pieces
2 Tbsp rum
2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

1. Line 9 inch pie pan with pastry; refrigerate until used.

6. Put on top crust; seal and crimp edges; cut slits for steam to escape.
7. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes or until apples are tender.
8. Serve warm.

Tips:

Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming too mushy.
Toss the apples with sugar, flour, and spices before filling the pie crust. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
Dot the top of the pie crust with butter before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
