Sour Cream Apple Pie

The first time I made this pie, friend Connie took one bite and said, "mmmmmmmmmmmm!"  Husband Mark did the same.  It's a good apple pie just as it is.  Ice cream or whipped cream or caramel topping would ruin it I think.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 single crust pie dough or unbaked prepared shell
1 cup of sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon of salt
2 large Red or Golden Delicious apples, sliced, cored and peeled
1/4 cup of brown sugar (homemade preferred)
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees with racks hung in the lower middle and upper middle.
2. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, egg, flour, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
3. Fit the pie dough into a 9" pie tin and crimp the edge. Place on a rimmed baking sheet pan.
4. Spread half of the custard mixture into the pie tin, add the apple slices, and spread the remaining custard over the apples.
5. Bake on the lower middle rung for 15 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer or until the apples are tender.
7. In a bowl and using a fork, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter. Scatter on top of the pie.
8. Return to the oven on the upper middle rack and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and the center of the pie is baked through.
9. Cool to room temperature and/or chill before serving.
