Expert Cooking Tips
- Chill your dough before rolling to prevent shrinking during baking.
- Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly to avoid burning.
Step 1
Warm your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Then whisk in the sour cream, egg, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Toss the apples into the mixture, making sure they’re all coated, and pour it into your unbaked pie crust.
Step 2
Pop the pie into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. After that, take it out and turn the oven down to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the pie, then put it back in the oven. Let it bake for about 30 minutes more, until the apples are soft and the topping is golden. Once it’s done, give it some time to cool for about half an hour before serving. Enjoy!
