- SCANDINAVIAN SOUR CREAM APPLE PIE
- Karen Baldwin
-
- 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!
-
-
- 3 c. apples (cored, peeled, each segment cut into 3 pieces)
- 3 T. flour
- 2/3 c. sugar (white)
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 c. sour cream
-
- Topping:
- 1/3 c. flour
- 1/2 c. cold butter
- 1/3 c. sugar (1/2 white; 1/2 brown)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
-
- 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.
