Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a pot of boiling water, briefly cook the sliced apples until they begin to soften, approximately 3-5 minutes. Drain the apples well and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained apples, 2 tablespoons of flour, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the apples are well coated.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the vanilla extract, then mix this into the apple mixture until thoroughly combined.

Gently fold in the sour cream until it's just incorporated. Pour this creamy apple filling into the unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly.

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
7
While the pie is baking, prepare the topping by combining the 1/3 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with the softened butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
