Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust
For the Filling
- 5-6 cups of peeled cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Walnut Streusel Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter diced
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- If you're using a pre-made crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If you're making your own crust, roll it out and place it in the pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sour cream, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold diced butter, and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple filling, covering the entire surface.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the apples are tender. Tent with aluminum foil if edges of the crust are browning too quickly.
- Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
