This is a delicious recipe combining apples, sour cream, sugar and a few others–to make a scrumptious dessert. I highly recommend that you use a high quality sour cream-it really does make the difference.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup chilled butter, diced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press the pie crust into and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and salt. Mix in the sour cream, egg and vanilla until smooth. Add apples, and stir to coat. Scrape the mixture into the pie shell.
Step 3
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 30 minutes more.
Step 4
While the pie is baking, prepare the topping in a medium bowl. Stir together 1/3 cup of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Step 5
After the 30 minute bake time has passed, cover the top of the pie with the crumb topping, and continue to bake for 15 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned and apples are tender. Allow the pie to cool, then refrigerate until chilled before serving.

This was very good. A bit sweet for us, so I’ll just reduce the sugar next time. Also, I baked it much longer (almost 45 minutes) to get the apples really tender. I don’t like them at all firm. A great change from regular apple pie — definitely a keeper!
-
This pie was absolutely wonderful! My whole family loved it. I love the combination of apples, sour cream and the topping. The recipe was very clear and easy to follow. I will definitely make this again!
-
This makes a sumptuous pie! It is a good experiment if you’re a novice in baking – simple quick, and practically impossible to spoil. And it tastes better the day after!
-
This pie was excellent – a little on the sweet side. I used light sour cream and it turned out fine. We ate it over a three day period and it was just as good each time.
-
Great pie, Summer. This differs only minutely from the one submitted by Eleanor Johnson. There are fewer apples in this one and no nutmeg, but nonetheless just as delicious.Thanks for your yummy version of a great pie.
-
This is good stuff! One of the easiest recipe I ever made… But I think have to increase the flour to maybe 3/4 cup for it to resemble fine crumbs. Otherwise, it is great!
-
This was a yummy pie! While making it I realized the container I had in the fridge was plain yogurt, not sour cream! I used the yogurt, and the pie still turned out delicious! I ended up baking it at least an extra half hour after the topping was on- because I was unsure about the yogurt, and the top wasn’t browning. It didn’t brown, just got crunchy, and the pie turned out great.
-
delicious! I used 1 tsp vanilla and almost 3 cups of apples and added 1/4 tsp nutmeg to the filling. I only used 2 tbsp butter for the topping and it was perfect! rave reviews at work!
-
It was an excellent and delicious dessert! Everyone loved it!!!
-
I made this once and my husband keeps asking for it! Delicious!
-
YUMMY! I loved the chunks of apples and strudel topping.
-
This was one of the best pie recipes I have ever made. I can’t say enough good things about it. It tasted great; it had great texture; it was easy to make.
-
This was a really easy and excellent recipe. It was the first time that I ever baked a pie and it turned out really well.
-
This is a sure fire winner~
I found everyone who had a piece of this pie loving it. No ifs ands or buts, a hands down five star recipe! THANKS!! -
This was delicious- I did decrease the sugar to 1/2cup and added a pinch of nutmeg to the topping. I did not peel the apples either-(a great time saver. Yummy and simple.
-
tHOUGHT THIS RECIPE WAS VERY GOOD KEPT IT WITH THE BASICS BUT ADDED BROWN SUGAR INSTEAD OF USING THE WHITE. ALSO ADDED SOME NUTMEG AND CINNAMON TO THE MIXTURE YOU COAT THE APPLES WITH AND USED A STORE BOUGHT APPLE CRISP TOPPING INSTEAD OF MAKING MY OWN. CAME OUT DELICIOUS WAS WONDERFUL WITH CARAMEL ICE CREAM ON TOP…. yummmmm!!!
-
This is very good. Very sweet. Maybe a little less sugar next time.
-
I love sour cream apple pies! I cook the apple and lightly mash them before adding them into the pie mix. I find this helps make the pie smoother. I also add a bit of fresh grated nutmeg to both the filling & the topping. YUM
-
This is just delicious, crowd went mad!
-
Absolutely wonderful! I have made many pies and this one is definitely one of my families favorites. I was a bit weary at first but now it will be family tradition. Thank you so much for sharing!
-
This pie was very good. Instead of measuring 2 cups chopped apples, I added 3 finely chopped apples to the sour cream mixture. The crumble was very difficult to work with (maybe too much butter to make it a real crumble) but tasted perfect. As already mentionned, this recipe is very close to the Sour Cream Apple Pie I, and I don’t really know which one I prefer…
-
We absolutely love this pie. I used low fat sour cream and light butter, didn’t make a difference in the taste. The pie is simple, quick to put together and totally delicious!!
-
I tried and tried but could not get the top crust crunchy. Hubby didn’t like it b/c of that.
-
I made this pie today and all I can say is WOW! I can’t wait for my husband to try this. This is a 5 star pie for sure.
-
really good.Twist on traditional apple pie. nice texture with the sour cream
-
I asked my boyfriend to describe this pie in two words: “mind blowing”. I would have to say I was also pretty impressed as well! A lovely twist on an old favorite. I like that it only uses a couple apples and you aren’t coring and chopping forever. I will probably make this again very soon.
-
DEEEELICIOUS and EASY!! Everything about this pie is sooo good! I used canned apple pie filling (didn’t have fresh apples on hand), and cut back the sugar to about 1/3 cup because of the sugar already in the pie filling. Everything else I followed exactly. It was easy and EVERYONE absolutely LOVED it! Even my picky roommates who don’t eat sweets loved it.
-
***** Yummy!!! I’m not a big pie fan, but I loved it! I made it using a graham cracker crust. For the topping I used brown sugar in place of the sugar & added walnuts. Maybe I’ll try it with peaches or pears next time. Thanks for a recipe that’s worth making again & again.
-
I entered this pie into a pie contest, never having made it before. I won First Prize over 30 other pies! A shock, because there were many pies that were more beautiful and elaborate, but the judges raved about the flavor and the texture of the surprise sour cream filling. This is why I LOVE Allrecipe reviews! I can never lose when I look for the highly rated recipes!
-
Pies tasted and smelled great-they caved in a little when cooling which made the topping crack and were a little time consuming with the baking. Thanks for recipe!
-
This is not your traditional pie so I was skeptical, yet pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted with the sour cream. I love spices so I ended up adding a few things cinamon and cloves to pie filling and replaced the top with brown sugar, cinamon, cloves, flour, butter, and crushed Nilla wafers.
-
Looked/smelled wonderful and I also had the problem of it falling and part of the top stayed up but part fell/cracked. I think I used too big of a pie pan maybe?! Otherwise good taste just would use more spices next time.
-
Everyone loved it-didn’t change a thing.
Thank you! -
Scrumptious Pie! I taught a pie baking class last night and made this recipe. They devoured it in seconds! I changed absolutely nothing. Thanks for the tip on quality sour cream, I do think it made a difference in the finished product. I liked how the pie kept it’s shape after being sliced and served. Not only was it a tasty pie, but pretty too!
-
It was very tasty. I was afraid to try it at first because of how different it looks, but very good.My topping would not get brown though, but the pie itself set very well.
-
I won the hearts of my future in-laws with this pie when I first met them. They were more than happy to welcome me into the family, so long as I brought this recipe. hahahaha. If you need a go-to dish that you can make easily and impress people, this is it!
-
What a lovely surprise! I tried it because of the reviews, and I’m so glad I did! Everyone loved the light texture and subtle combination of flavors. This is one recipe I won’t tinker with.
-
Yum! Very tasty and very easy to do. Even better the second day.
-
This was a true winner! I will be making this again really soon.
-
This was not a popular recipe for my family. The biggest complaint was that after the pie cooled the liquid of the sour cream started to separate making the crust all soggy. As well, the creaminess of the sour cream makes the pie taste more like an apple custard which lessens the flavours of the spices. I think I’ll stick to traditional apple pie.
-
I thought the pie was very easy to make and tasty. I’m a big fan of warm apple pie and you really couldn’t heat this one, but still good. I’d probably make again.
-
I made this pie for the second time yesterday. It was a hit last night for dessert, and even better chilled this am at the church pot luck lunch. Both times I’ve made it, I wanted two pies (the pillsbury pre-packaged crusts at our grocery store come in packs of 2) This first time, I made one deep dish (in a nice ceramic pie plate), and another in a regular tin pie plate. Doubling the recipe gave barely enough filling. Yesterday, I used a triple recipe, and 2 nice ceramic dishes. I tripled the filling, and the topping ingredients. This resulted in 2 nice deep dish pies. I did cook the pies a little longer, just adding a couple of minutes to each step to be sure the deeper pies were thoroughly cooked. I found the recipe easy, and the end result simply perfect. Thanks!
-
Yum, this was very good and appreciated by all.
-
This is unbelievable! The family loved it, too. I especially loved the topping! Thanks for the great recipe!
-
Wonderful!!!! I loved it!!
-
Came out perfectly!! No texture problems..tasted great..everyone loved it! A beautiful and delicious pie. Great recipe, thanks!
-
Excellent flavor. Love the creaminess of the sour cream versus the tartness of the apples. The topping is sweet and buttery rich.
-
This recipe is great adn easy to make. I actually made my own pie crust, using a recipe from the site “french pastry pie crust” and it turns out really flaky, just like those in the bakery. Will make this again but maybe with a regular or lattice pie top cause the crumbles are a little messy when you are serving to the children. Really good with vanilla ice cream…..
-
easy and delicious!!! I ate the whole pie alone – nearly. It`s the third time in the last few days I made this recipe (I changed nothing) and it always turns out great! I got a lot of compliments on it, so thanks for the recipe
-
This recipe was awesome! Very delicious and easy to make. Next time I would just add a little more spice such as cinnamon to the pie mixture. Other than that, it was perfect!!
-
Delicious and easy. Thank you!
-
Delicious pie! My family gobbled it down. I took the suggestion of adding a little less sugar and the pie still turned out plenty sweet. Will definitely make this recipe again.
-
this is very easy n tasty! i reduced the sugar to 3 tbsp and it still came out sweet. the crust should be baked first for at least 15mins before pouring the grannysmith apple mixture to ensure that the bottom crust is fully baked(:
-
This pie was much too sweet, and I was expecting something creamier. Instead, it was like a chunky custard that had too much sugar in it. If I were to make it again, I would have less sugar, no cinnamon in the topping, and might not bake it for too long, maybe cook the apples first. I really had high hopes for the pie.
-
I have made this pie a few times and my family absolutely loves it.
-
This pie was so moist and delicious. It also had a great presentation.
-
This pie recipe has been made in my family for decades. Don’t know why I didn’t see it on site before, I have always looked for it in cookbooks etc. and have never seen it published before. I got out my recipe to compare and the only difference is cinnamon (we use 1 T.). Lots of times I use can of Comstock sliced apples (not pie filling or you would definately need to reduce or cut out sugar). Also, use pastry blender for topping- make crumb-like when butter is not entirely soft. Only bake at 350 for 40 min. then additional 15 for topping. Debate within family whether pie is best warm or cold.
-
I just finished making this pie, it’s delicious!!! I would cut down a little on the sugar though, it’s extremely sweet.
-
really great! Thanks for the recipe…
-
My husband’s words, “this is your best pie ever”, however I did make some changes, only used 2 T of sugar as I like a tartness to my apple pies, and also added lemon zest and cinnamon to the apple mixture. This pie sets up so well. I used lite sour cream. It’s a keeper.
-
I think this was the best apple pie I have ever had. I added some chopped hazelnuts to the topping just because I had them and at $12 a pound I wanted to use them up.
-
this apple pie was very easy to make and turned out perfectly. The whole pie was gone in one day. Tasted like an apple cheesecake.
-
I have made this two times this week and have been told by 5 different people it is the “best apple pie they have ever eaten”. The only change I made was to cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup instead of 3/4. Thanks for the great recipe. My husband just called from work to request this again tonight!
-
Quite good! Next time ill add more apples and more crumble top!
-
enjoyed this pie,the only thing was topping was to sweet for my taste like hard candy…I have another topping like this one but not so much sugar in it so might us that on the next one I make..thanks
-
I took this to Thanksgiving dinner. It was good, but people didn’t rave about it or ask for the recipe. It is a nice change. I followed other reviewers and used 1/2 cup sugar.
-
Good recipe but needed more apples so I put almost two more apples into the batter and it came out much better.
-
This is a wonderful recipe and gets raves in my household everytime I make it. I add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the filling, giving it more flavor. Cuddos to the author!!!
-
This is such a great pie recipe. My only problem is that it disappears before I get to eat my share! A couple of calories and fat can be trimmed with reduced fat sour cream. Like many others, I reduced the sugar to one half cup, and added a sprinkle of nutmeg to the topping. Total baking time of one hour is needed….just follow the directions and add keep it in the oven for the extra time.
-
Excellent! Sugary topping and i went ahead and did 1/2 cup like others had said. i added blueberries along with the apple! it kind of gives it a yummy sweet and sour taste. i really loved the idea of using sour cream!Thanks for the GREAT recipe!
-
it’s certainly good and I liked the sour cream idea. didn’t come out as an applecheesecake as I was expecting, though… the custard part was thin for me: maybe should try with more apples.
-
this pie is so yummy! My husband loves it and he is not a huge fan of deserts but this does not last more than 2 days in my house! The recipe is so wonderful because you can make with many different fruits, I made one today with about 2 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries instead of apples and it is delicious. The recipe is a kepper!
-
I made this recipe for my family’s Thanksgiving. It was a hit. Also brought it into my office and was told it was the best apple pie they had ever had
-
2 cups is not nearly enough apples! I needed over 4 cups for my pie plate. All other measurements stayed the same. I like the taste alot. Nice and creamy. Might try it with peaches next time.
-
This pie is TO DIE FOR!!!! My husband is not a fan for pies, especially apple ones…. But this pie is his absolute favorite dessert! He asks me to make it everyday (not that I make it for him that often)!
Anyway, I did a whole stick of butter for the topping. And it turned out crunchy like a praline topping!! Absolutely fabulous!!! -
Wow, this recipe is great! I am not crazy about apple pie but I tried this with fresh apples from our trees and it was soooo good.
-
I made it last night. It was really good. every body loved it. I used short bread pie crust. I will make it again.
-
I love this pie! Made it at home using fresh pears, then made a couple pies at work and they loved it also. Have made it again at home and wanted to mention a mistake I made, had my mind elsewhere and I added the topping to the pie when I was putting it into the oven to begin baking. When I realised what I’d done I was worried it would ruin the pie but it actually turned out better, the topping blended into the sourcream filling and was a rich brown color but did not burn so I think from now on I will just put the topping on at the beginning. Next time I made it I’m going to use blueberries and thinking it would also be very tasty with strawberries.
-
The best pie I have ever tasted. I made it for a work party and people who dont like apples, loved this pie! It is so good i could eat it everyday
-
this was soooo good! reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, it’s the perfect level of sweet that way. i also added some cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
-
so easy and so good! People kept asking if I had really made it. They thought I bought it. Delicious. Will definitely make again. I didn’t make any changes.
-
I was going to make a regular apple pie but only had enough flour for the bottom crust, so I found this recipe. I am glad I did because my husband said that this was the best apple pie he has ever eaten!! A keeper for sure.
-
Love this recipe! I always double it so I can use the whole container of sour cream, plus every one always finished one so fast! I cut out 1/3 cup of sugar though. And the “15 minutes to brown” always takes a little bit longer for me – maybe 5 more minutes. Love the streusel topping sooo much. I was looking for a pie that used streusel because I always find double crusts so filling. Ever since I found this recipe a few years ago, every one always asks for it!
-
Even reduced to 1/2 cup sugar, the pie is too sweet. I would use at most 1/4 cup if I make this again. In the topping, I used only a scant 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and also added oats and coarsely ground walnuts. I made a graham cracker crust because I didn’t have time to make and chill a regular pie crust. It tasted nice with the apples and cream. All in all, this is a nice change, but it’s not going to supplant the traditional double-crusted version in my repertoire of pies.
-
This is absolutely a wonderful pie! I do cut down on the sugar a bit. I get requests for this just about every holiday.
-
FANTASTIC!! Loved it! I was hesitant to make it because we are really traditional pie lovers. I am so glad I finally gave in and tried it. My hard to please husband loved it too and can’t wait until I make another one. These are the subtle changes I made: I substituted maple syrup for the sugar as I always do to make it a little healthier. And I reduced the amount of maple syrup to 1/2 cup. Next time I will try 1/3 cup as it was still a tad to sweet for us. I also added about a 1/2 cup more apples and just a little more cinnamon (we like cinnamon). Other than that everything else was the same. Delish!
-
I LOVE THIS. Rave reviews. I use 3 cups of apples (granny smith) for a deep dish pie crust. Use 2/3 C flour and 1/3 C butter in topping and came out AMAZING. thanks!
-
First time I ever made a pie and it was outstanding!! Was low on white sugar so I substituted half with brown sugar. Used a mix of Spartan and Courtland apples. Everyone was surprised that there was sour cream in it…a definite keeper!
-
Solid taste, but took forever to set!
-
This is a nice twist on apple pie. I used a store bought crust but I found that the exposed crust browned way too fast. Even after covering it I found that it was too gross to eat. That being said the pie itself was great!
-
I was very pleased at how great this pie turned out and the simplicity. I am always nervous to make any sort of apple pie. If you are the same, this recipe will work out great for you! Next time, I will cut back a bit on the butter for the crumb topping, it made it a little too soggy and didn’t crisp well enough. I also add a dash of cinnamon to the sour cream mixture. All the adjustments people have written in the comments are unecessary, this recipe is pretty darn good as written!
-
I was very very impressed by this pie and I will make this again for Christmas. The texture of the filling was outstanding. Thanks for this great recipe!
-
Really easy to make. The taste was just OK. Not offensive in any way but not amazing either.
-
I made this one day to make something different. My 7 year old granddaughter got a pen and paper so I could give her the recipe. It will now be a regular dessert at my house thank you.
-
very good. I made homemade crust for this pie and everything turned out wonderful. I was skeptical of the flavor with sour cream, but was pleasantly surprised.
-
Very good apple pie recipe. Used Never Fail Pie Crust II with it and husband couldn’t stop eating pie. Glad I tried it. Taste was excellent. Used less sugar and 1/2 egg. Needed other 1/2 for crust. Came out fine.
-
This was a GREAT recipe!!! Highly reccomend it!
-
The recipe was great, but like others, I revised it a bit; I added nutmeg and oats so the top of the pie was more of a crumble.
***I made this again for the second time the other day and changed my rating from 4 to 5 – I forgot just how good this pie is!!! I love adding the oat topping during the last couple of minutes for a bit of extra crunch and flavour. -
I did not like sour cream in my apple pie.
-
i’m giving it a 5 because i altered the recipe and maybe if i followed it exactly it would have tasted even better. i doubled the amount of apples and sour cream and it was too sour cream-y, but the flavor was still excellent and i will not double the sour cream next time. oh i also doubled the topping which is a must! i added some quick oats to the topping and it gave it a delicious added crunch!
