Directions:
Recipe by: klbaldwi@ren.edaco.ingr.com (Karen Baldwin) Note: Apples
should be cored, peeled, each segment cut into 3 pieces.
Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt, and coat the apples in it
all. Beat together the egg and vanilla, and add to the apple mix. Fold
in the sour cream. Bake in a 9" pie shell for 40 min. at 350 degrees.
Mix the topping while the pie bakes, by cutting the cold butter into
the flour, sugar, and cinnamon until the texture is crumbly. (You can
use all white sugar, but a little brown sugar makes it more attractive.
You can use all brown sugar, but it overwhelms the delicate flavors of
the filling.) Cover the baked pie with this topping and bake an
additional 10-15 minutes.
This is my recipe, which i got from my mom, which she got from *her*
mom, which she got from her mom. (my Nonnie). My grandfather, a
Norwegian immigrant, planted an Apple Orchard when he was a young man,
and the family ran its 200 acres as a business (as my cousins continue
to, today). Apples were always on the table and in our meals, and baking
was done for customers as well as for pleasure. Contests were entered
regularly, recipe books written, etc. And THIS recipe was our whole
family's favorite, which ought to tell you something. Keeps winning
those pie contents!
