FALL AND SOUR CREAM APPLE PIE

I know it is still in the  90's outside but after all those horrible days of 114 and more, the 90's feel just like fall.  Bob and I were on the patio this morning and both remarked that the air is so brisk, it feels like Indian summer.  I suppose..........THAT will be next......we'll go straight into winter!!  I am sure planning on some nice days where we can sit outside and barbeque.  That has just been impossible this summer so far.  Well, fall always makes me think of apples.........so this is one of my favorite apple pie recipes.  A little out of the norm.

Make a bottom crust........don't bake it.....stick it in the frig.  Then in a bowl whisk tog 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups sour cream, a good shot of vanilla,1 cup sugar, 3 Tblsp of flour, a good grind of fresh nutmeg (or just a good sprinkling) and dash of salt........Mix til real smooth. Slice about 6 Granny Smith apples real thin and put in the shell........Pour this mixture over the apples.  Bake this at 400 degrees for 15 min.......then reduce heat to 350 and bake 45-50 min.  In the meantime........Make topping.......Stir tog 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt and add 1/4 cup soft butter with your fingers.  Remove pie from oven INCREASE TEMP TO 400 degrees............Crumble the topping on the pie and bake another 10 min.........Cool at least 45 min.  Serve warm.........I may have made that recipe up........its really really good and nice change from basic apple pie.
