Sour Cream Apple Pie Recipe

Discover how to create this delicious, crunchy apple pie with a creamy, tender, juicy filling. This easy, straightforward pastry recipe will quickly become your family’s favorite. There are no multi-step instructions, lengthy waiting times, or complicated cooking skills required.

Sour cream, cinnamon, and apples come together to create a delicious blend of flavors. This recipe guarantees a beautifully golden crust filled with a decadent apple mixture that will tantalize your taste buds. Additionally, the pie crust is surprisingly easy to make, allowing you to savor the baking process.

What I love most about the filling is how it perfectly balances tartness and creaminess. This delightful contrast comes from layering crisp, tangy apple slices—known for their vibrant flavor—with a rich, velvety sour cream. The creaminess adds an extra layer of sweetness that complements the bright apples, resulting in a dessert that’s as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. Each bite is a delightful experience that beautifully combines fresh fruit with creamy indulgence.

When I say that the recipe is easy to follow, I truly mean it. You only need to combine the ingredients listed. Be sure to use the exact amounts specified in the recipe. If you don’t have a scale to measure them, please follow the links where I explain how to measure dry ingredients using measuring cups and spoons.

Ingredients for Apple Pie Filling:

• 250 g sour cream;
• 220 g sugar;
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon;
• 1 egg;
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour;
• 5 apples (tart with a bit of sweetness).

Apple Pie Crust Ingredients:

• 150 g butter, unsalted;
• 100 g sour cream;
• 250 g all-purpose flour;
• 1 ½ tsp. baking powder;
• A pinch of salt.

How to make apple pie with sour cream at home:

• Melt butter using a water bath or a microwave. Let the butter cool down before using it further in the recipe.

• Whisk sour cream together with butter until combined.

• Mix flour with baking soda and salt. Add the mixture in bunches to the bowl and start kneading the dough.

• As a result, you should get malleable but not sticky dough. Cover it in plastic wrap and leave it for 30 minutes in the fridge. It will make it firmer to form a shape that we will make.

• Let’s make the filling. Start with whisking one egg in a separate bowl.

• In another bowl, combine sour cream right from the fridge with sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix.

• Add egg to the mix and two tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

• Make sure that the mixture will be smooth. A handheld mixer will be just perfect to get rid of all the lumps.

• Take the dough out of the fridge and form the pie’s crust. Do not forget to form not only the bottom but the sides, too. I had a baking tray 22-24 cm in diameter.

• Peel apples, get rid of the core with seeds. Cut apples into thin slices (2-3 mm width). Place apple slices in a circle like in the picture.

• Pour the filling mixture inside the crust over the apple slices.

• Spread the filling evenly, help yourself with a spatula or a spoon.

• Preheat oven at 350ºF/180°C.
• Bake apple pie for 50 minutes or until fully cooked through. The stated time is given as a reference because all the ovens are different with different settings. I would highly recommend you start checking the pie in the oven from the 45th minute.

• Take the apple sour cream pie carefully out of the oven. Let it cool down before removing the baking form. Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top and cut into slices before serving. Enjoy your treat!
