  • 0.5t baking powder
  • 0.5t salt


  • 12T cold, diced butter
  • 1c sour cream

Filling


  • 6-8+ (the more, the merrier!) baking applies. I used Mutsu, but Granny Smith are good, too

  • DIRECTIONS

    • Dice butter and return to fridge

    • Use fingers to crumble butter into dry ingredients; eliminate lumps
    • Slowly mix in sour cream
    • As needed, add ice water to moisten
    • Knead dough lightly
    • Divide into 2 discs, wrap with cling wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes
    • Roll thinly and drape over parchment-lined pie pan(s)
    • Pierce with fork all over
    • Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes

    • Use a veggie peeler to very thinly slice the apples, discarding pieces that are mostly peel
    • Combine apples with remaining filling ingredients
    • Layer apples into crust(s), filling every nook and cranny
    • Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes, until crust is brown and juices bubble
    • Cool at least 1-2 hours before serving
