Deep Dish Apple Pie

This is another recipe from The Mennonite Treasury of Recipes. Bruce loves apple pies. He loves them so much that when he was a kid he would tell his mom, “When we get there if I’m asleep just say, ‘apple pie’ and I’ll wake up!”

1 unbaked pie shell
3-4 apples
1 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon flour
½ cup sour cream
Ground cinnamon, nutmeg & allspice

Peel the apples and cut into eighths. It takes three or four depending on the size, the pie must be well filled. Arrange slices in an unbaked pie shell.
Mix sugar and flour with the sour cream, pour this over the apples, sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, dot with butter if you want it extra rich. Bake in hot oven 425°F for ten minutes then reduce heat to 350°F, continue baking for 30 minutes, or until apples are tender and the top is crispy brown. The brown sugar and cream will curdle, but they form delicious crumbs and flakes over apples.
