Ingredients
For the bottom crust:
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold shortening, sliced into small cubes
¼ cup cold butter, sliced into small cubes
⅓ cup ice water (put ice and water in a bigger cup and pour into ⅓ cup)
For the filling:
1 egg, beaten
1½ cup sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2¼ lbs cored, peeled, sliced apples (I used 6 Pink Lady apples and got 6 cups sliced apples which fit nicely in the 9-inch pie pan)
For the topping:
½ cup flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, melted
⅓ cup white vinegar
1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
For the bottom pie crust:
- Preheat the oven to 450℉.
- Place the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Use a pastry blender to mix in the shortening and butter until a fine crumb resembling small peas develops.
- Stir in the ice cold water and bring the dough together in a ball.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- Roll out and transfer to the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan
For the filling:
- Stir the egg, sour cream, sugar, vanilla and salt for the filling until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared pie crust and gently add the apples.
- Bake like this for 10 minutes then reduce to 350℉ and bake for 35 minutes. Wait to prepare your topping until a few minutes before this baking time is up. It will spread much easier.
For the topping:
- Stir the flour, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl and then stir in the butter followed by the vinegar. Fold in the pecans.
- Remove the pie from the oven after it’s baked the first 45 minutes, add the topping, return to the oven and bake for another 45 minutes.
- Enjoy with ice cream or whipped cream and a nice cuppa coffee or tea.
