Sour cream apple pie a sweet custard apple pie, it is a nice twist to your everyday apple pie recipe. This recipe has been a family favorite for many years.

Whenever there is a family gathering where there are pies involved this pie makes an appearance. Let’s just say there are usually never any leftovers.

As I mentioned before this is not your everyday apple pie. The custard-type filling is made with sour cream and apples. The combination is the perfect match.

The topping pie is much easier to make than a two-crusted pie and the topping really helps to take this pie over the top. So with the holidays around the corner, this is an easy recipe that your whole family will fall in love with.

Helpful Tips:

  • Use the right type of apple. I like using McIntosh, they are my apple of choice. These apples are not overly sweet, but a hint of tartness and they bake nicely in pies.
  • If you don’t like the McIntosh apple here are a few other suggestions, Honey Crisp, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Cortland, and Braeburn.
  • If making pie crust is not your thing you can definitely buy a premade pie crust. Not only is it easier, but it will cut down on your pie-making time.
  • For this pie, I would suggest that you peel the apples.
  • When cutting the apples make sure that you try to cut the piece evenly to help them bake evenly.
  • Keep leftover pie in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
