Favorite Sour Cream Apple Pie (circa 1992)

Creamy, tender apples baked under a thin, crackly cinnamon-sugar topping, it's no wonder this recipe is still popular today as it was when first published in "Gourmet Magazine" over 20 years ago. 


And it slices so beautifully, thanks to the sour cream custard filling.  It's easy to make too as it only requires a bottom crust (and if you're short on time refrigerated or frozen pie crust pastry will do.)
The original recipe suggested serving each slice with a dollop of ginger flavored whipped cream, but I've never made it that way. I prefer a slightly sweetened dollop of freshly whipped cream, or a scoop of good quality vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
It's a wonderful way to send 2012 out on a sweet note. If you try it, I hope it will become one of your favorites too!



Happy New Year, friends!!    Thank you so much for your friendship and all of your  kind messages and  support throughout this past year. ((Hugs!!))

I'm wishing you all the best; health, happiness, peace and prosperity in 2013.
