Ingredients
- 250 g sour cream
- 220 g sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsps. all-purpose flour
- 5 apples (tart with a bit of sweetness)
- 150 g butter, unsalted
- 100 g sour cream
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- 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!
