Swedish Apple Pie
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • For Pie:
  • Your favorite single pie crust recipe (or can use a frozen or refrigerated crust)
  • 4 cups peeled, sliced apples
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream (not reduced fat or fat free)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • For Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
  1. For Pie: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust and flute edges. Place prepared apples in crust and spread out evenly; set aside. Mix flour, sour cream, egg, vanilla, salt, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a medium mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Pour evenly over apples.
  2. For Topping: Combine all the topping ingredients in a food processor or mixing bowl. If using a food processor, pulse until mixture is crumbly. If in a bowl, cut ingredients with a pastry blender until crumbly, or use your hands. Sprinkle evenly over top of pie.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, 5 minutes until golden and little bubbles appear on the sides. Let cool on a wire rack. Pie can be served slightly warm, room temperature, or chilled after it has cooled. If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  4. Note: Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. The recipe can easily be doubled to make 2 pies.
