Steps
European sour cream apple pie is a classic dessert that combines the sweetness of apples with the tangy flavor of sour cream. In this recipe, we will make both the crust and filling from scratch using high-quality ingredients. This recipe will serve 6-8 people.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or any other variety)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter pieces and mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.
4. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with melted butter. In another bowl, combine white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined. Add the sour cream and stir until everything is well incorporated.
7. On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough halves into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish, letting any excess dough hang over the edges.
8. Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Roll out the second half of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut some slits in the dough to allow steam to escape, then place it over the top of the pie.
10. Trim any excess dough off the edges, then crimp the edges to seal the crust.
11. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the crust, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
12. Cover the edges loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
13. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your delicious European sour cream apple pie!
