Sweetened sour cream swirls around apple slices with a crumb topping.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This has all the traditional apple pie goodness with the addition of scrumptious, crumbly topping. A fantastic dessert for fall or the holidays, it has a sweet, creamy filling that surrounds the apples. We loved the crunchy walnut crumble sprinkled on top. From the first bite to the last, this apple pie is out of this world!
