After my Cafe Zupas post yesterday, I had to come back and re-post my favorite Apple Pie recipe!! I’ve actually been making this pie for years – and if you know me, you know that if I make a recipe more than once, it’s a winner! This is by far my favorite apple pie. I actually had a neighbor bring by a bag of apples from her tree, and this is the first thing that came to my mind.
I’m a sucker for a crumb topping, and it’s usually the more the better for me. I’ve actually doubled the topping from the original recipe, and I think it’s the perfect amount of crumble. And don’t let the sour cream part scare you away – it definitely adds to the pie!
Now that fall is fully upon us, I am craving pie like crazy, so stay tuned for many more!

I love sour cream apple pie too. I'm going to try your delicious sounding recipe but use reduced-fat sour cream instead of regular…
I love baking with sour cream – It adds so much moistness to baked desserts, and this one looks very moist and delicious – and EASY! Thanks for sharing, Deborah. I look forward to giving this a try sometime soon!
I will have to try this for the holidays.
I've yet to make anything with apple this fall. Might just have to give this pie a try:)
I think I have to make this, seems pretty simple and I am a sucker for crumbles myself!
I still haven't found a good go-to apple pie yet and if you've made this more than once than it must be a winner! Looks fantastic, especially with all that crumble topping.
I love that combination! A lovely pie.
Cheers,
Rosa
that is one delicious looking apple pie!
I always double crumb toppings, lol. This pie looks delish.
Crumb toppings are my favorite.. I love the look of this pie!
maggie and i both are drooling over this! haha thanks for the comment!
We made a sour cream apple pie last year for Thanksgiving, and everyone LOVED it! They are so good, and I'm sure that this version was equally as great. Thanks for sharing this. We are going to make another one in the next week or two. I'm excited to give yours a try!
Wow thanks for sharing your fav apple pie!! I'm def going to try this…I've only ever tried 1 apple pie recipe in my life and just kept using it..would be nice to 'expand' my horizons hahahha. the crumbling top is making me drool right now!
Yum to both the sour cream & crumble topping
Looks delicious and I love pies in general. Add sour cream and apples and it makes it a perfect pie.
heaven, thy name is apple pie. well done, deborah.
I have never had sour cream apple pie but I LOVE the idea! It looks fabulous!
I made this pie for Thanksgiving and wrote about it here. The pie was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I've been wanting to make a sour cream apple pie for some time now but haven't yet! Saving this recipe as it looks amazing.
I’m trying this tempting sour cream apple pie recipe, as I type, for Thanksgiving. I bumped up most of the ingredients for a deep 10″ pie dish. Once I get everything out, it’s just as easy to make a bigger pie, and then…more leftovers! I used 6 cups apples, 1- 1/3 cup sour cream, 3 T flour, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1 egg, but the same amount of sugar for the filling and the topping as my husband has diabetic/low sugar needs. Topping: 1 C flour, 2/3 C sugar (next time might use Splenda), 2 heaping tsp. cinnamon, and 6 T. margarine. I goofed and put the topping on after the first 15 minutes bake time @ 400 degrees F. I think it’ll be fine. I also use the Pampered Chef crust/rim cover to protect the fluted edge. Looking forward to a steamy apple pie!
