Apple Pie with Homemade Crust

Homemade with love. This apple pie recipe combines the sweet and tender flavors of baked apples with a deliciously flaky sour cream crust.

Prep
About 2 hours
Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, extra for dusting the surface

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed

½ cup FAGE Sour Cream or FAGE Total 5% Greek Yogurt

Apple Filling:

7 medium sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

¾ cup FAGE Sour Cream or FAGE Total 5% Greek Yogurt

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon salt

    Steps
  1. In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add butter to the flour mixture and pulse again until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Add sour cream or Greek yogurt and pulse until the mixture starts to adhere but is still crumbly.
  4. Remove mixture from the food processor and place onto a floured surface. Using your hands, gather up the mixture and work it into a ball. Divide the ball into two pieces and wrap each piece with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. In a medium size bowl, combine all the ingredients for the apple filling. Set aside.
  7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle flour onto a clean surface and roll out the dough using a rolling pin to two 12” circles. Place one pastry into a pie pan. Cut the second pastry into twelve equal strips (about 1-inch wide).
  9. Spoon apple filling into the pie pan and arrange 6 strips across the pie. Form lattice by arranging 6 strips diagonally across the first strips. Press ends into crust edges. Brush lattice with water or egg wash and sprinkle on additional sugar.
  10. Bake pie for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes or until apples are soft.
