1-1/2 cups sour cream

TO
PREPARE THE CRUST:
In a large bowl, combine
flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until
mixture has the consistency of coarse meal. Sprinkle in just enough
water to moisten dough. May add additional water if necessary to
form ball.
Preheat over to 450 degrees.
Roll out dough on a lightly
floured surface to a 12-inch diameter circle. Fit into a 10-inch
pie plate. Fold under overhanging pastry flush with rim. Flute
to make a stand-up edge. Chill until ready to fill.
TO
PREPARE THE FILLING:
In a large mixing bowl, beat
egg slightly. Stir in sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla and salt
until mixture is smooth. Add sliced apples, stirring gently just
to coat apples. Spoon filling into shell.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10
minutes, lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 35 minutes longer. While
pie bakes, prepare topping.
TO
PREPARE THE TOPPING:
In a small bowl, combine
butter, flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts and blend well.
Remove pie from oven and
sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Return to oven.
Bake for 15 minutes longer
or until topping is lightly browned. Cool pie on wire rack.
