Hearty Ontario Apple Pie in a Deep Dish

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Then whisk in the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Toss the apples into this mixture, making sure they’re nicely coated, and pour it all into your unbaked pie crust.

Step 2

Pop the pie into the hot oven and bake for 10 minutes. After that, take it out and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

Step 3

While the oven is cooling down, prepare the crumble topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this evenly over the pie.

Step 4

Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the apples are soft and the topping is golden. Let it cool for about half an hour before serving to let everything set.
