Adam and I were just talking about going apple picking again this fall, it’s getting to be that time of the year. I figured I better use up the apples I froze from last year before buying new apples. I still have 2 bags left so I will be making more soon.

Adam loves pie, I am not so much a fan of fruit pie, dutch apple with a big old scoop of ice cream is about the only one I will do. So I knew that was what I wanted to make. This one was excellent and wasn’t over the top with apples.

Dutch Apple Pie (Adapted From: Taste of Home)

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 T. cinnamon
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
• 2 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 3 medium)
• 1 unbaked pie shell (9 inches)

STREUSEL TOPPING:

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold butter

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir in the egg, vanilla and sour cream; stir until smooth. Add apples; mix well. Pour into pie crust. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325° and bake for 30 minutes more.

For topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over pie; bake 20 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly and topping is browned. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or chilled. Store in the refrigerator.
