Instructions: Note: Apples
should be cored, peeled, each segment cut into 3 pieces.

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.

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 familys favorite, which ought to tell you something. Keeps winning those pie contents!
