Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 cups Sour cream
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Cut in 0.5 cups of cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim the edges, and crimp or flute them as desired. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoons of almond extract. Mix until smooth.
Add 5 cups of sliced apples to the sour cream mixture and toss to coat evenly. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it into an even layer.
Make the almond topping: In a small bowl, stir together 0.5 cups of sliced almonds, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the apple filling.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set completely.
Serve the pie slightly warm or at room temperature. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
