Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt for the crust.
3. Cut in 1 cup of cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add 6 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to fit the pie pan. Gently press it into the pan, trimming any excess over the edges.
6. In a separate large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 0.75 cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, and 0.25 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
7. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream and 2 lightly beaten eggs. Combine this mixture with the apples, stirring gently to coat evenly.
8. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
9. To prepare the topping, mix 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.5 cups flour, 0.25 cups rolled oats (if using), and 0.25 cups melted butter. Stir until crumbly.
10. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pie filling.
11. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with foil if they begin to brown too quickly.
12. Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Deep Dish Sour Cream Apple Pie!
