Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (150 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter , cold and cut into cubes (1 stick, 113 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons water , cold

For the filling:

  • 1 cup sour cream (227 grams)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 grams)
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 cups apples , peeled and thinly sliced (5 medium apples, 550 grams)

For the topping:

  • ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar (106 grams)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter , melted (56 grams)

Instructions

To make the crust:

  • In medium bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add cubed butter and use pastry blender to cut butter into dry ingredients until size of small peas.
  • Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough starts to come together into ball. Dump dough out onto clean surface and knead a few times to incorporate all of dry bits. Work quickly, do not over handle.
  • Shape into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie crust into a rough 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and crimp as desired.

To assemble and bake pie:

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the sour cream, sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, eggs and vanilla extract. Add apple slices and toss to coat. Dump into the prepared pie crust.
  • In a second bowl combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon with a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Use your hands to crumble the topping on top of the pie.
  • Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake until topping is golden and filling is set and slightly bubbles at the edges, about 50-60. If topping browns before filling is set, cover with foil for the remainder of baking time. Let pie cool to room temperature before serving.
