Pi Day Celebration!

I adore Pi Day…it’s one of the best excuses there is to eat something I love anyway. And since I’m married to my physicist sweetheart, there’s even more adoration for 3.14 in our household!  Here’s one of the pie recipes I love the most:

Blow Your Socks Off Sour Cream Apple Pie

Make a single batch of regular pie crust

Topping:
3 T butter, softened
1/3 c sugar
1 t cinnamon
2 T flour

Combine in a small bowl and blend with a fork until the mixture is grainy. Cover and chill.

Filling:
4 c tart apples (I like Macouns), peeled, cored, and sliced thinly

1-1/3 c sour cream
2/3 c sugar
1/2 t salt
2 t vanilla
2 large eggs
3 T flour

Line the pie pan with the crust and add the apples. Mix the sour cream through the flour in a bowl, beating well. Pour over top of apples. Crumble the topping over the mixture. Bake at 350 for about an hour. Cover with foil if the crust starts to brown too much. Let it cool completely before serving. Swoon.
