Desert: Sour Cream Apple Pie!

This recipe comes down from my grandmother, Zola Bible (1902-1985).

The filling: 3/4 C sugar, 2 Tbsp flour, 1/8 tsp salt.  Mix it up.  Add 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.  Fold in 8 oz sour cream.  Add apples: I use MacIntosh, and fold into pie shell.

Topping is a mix of 1/3 C sugar, 1/3 C flour, 3 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 C chopped walnuts, and 1/4 C butter.  The trick is to mix in the butter so that it makes a crumbly consistency.  So don't melt it and don't use hard cold butter.  It works best when soft.

Back at 350˚ for 55 minutes; but here's where I always have a problem.  Mine alway take longer...like if 20 minutes longer.  You want the custard to set, so use a wooden skewer and don't pull it out too soon.
