Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add sliced apples and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the spiced apple mixture evenly into the unbaked pie shell.
  4. Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  6. While the pie bakes, mix the sour cream and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Remove the foil from the pie. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the hot apples.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
  9. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the sour cream layer.
  10. Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over the crumb topping.
  11. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes longer, or until the topping is lightly toasted and golden.
