Directions:
The Pastry Shell
With a pastry blender, combine flour, Crisco and the salt until it
looks like course meal. In a small bowl, mix the egg, vinegar and
milk. Add to the flour mixture mixing only until the dough holds
together in a ball. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out on floured wax
paper then turn it into a lightly greased pie plate. (This shell
freezes well. To bake, prick all over and bake at 400 degrees for 11
minutes).
The Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, egg, vanilla, sugar, salt
and flour, stirring until well blended. Stir in apples. Pour this
mixture into an unbaked pastry shell and bake @ 425 for 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes.
The Topping
Combine all topping ingredients, blending until the mixture looks like
course meal. Spoon topping over the pie and bake @ 350 degrees for an
additional 15-20 minutes or until the filling is bubbly. It may be a
little work, but the results are fantastic!!!
This pie is from the kitchen of Martha Hickey, my boss. A great lady
but don't ever ask if she needs anything from York!!!
