I revised this classic apple pie recipe from a church cookbook. I knew it was a keeper when my mother-in-law asked for a copy. Linda Pawelski, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust deep-dish pie
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 6 cups diced peeled tart apples (about 6 medium)
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate or cast-iron skillet. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and allspice. Fold in the apples. Combine sour cream and vanilla; stir into apple mixture. Spoon into crust.
  3. For topping, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until filling is bubbly and topping is golden, 25-30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
