Pie

INGREDIENTS 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust 5 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced 1/2 cup white sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange pastry in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Place apples in crust. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl; pour over apples in crust. Sprinkle lemon juice on top. To make the crumble topping: Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over apples. (Or you could just melt the butter and stir it all together which I do most of the time) Take two 15-inch pieces of parchment paper and enclose pie; fold edges up 3 times. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven, without opening the parchment, for 1 hour. Remove from oven, split parchment open, and cool pie on a wire rack. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup granulated sugar 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick butter) melted 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk 1 cup key lime or regular lime juice 2 whole large eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 tablespoon lime zest INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter with your hands. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, and bake until brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before filling. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk, lime juice, and eggs. Whisk until well blended and place the filling in the cooled pie shell. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, combine the sour cream and powdered sugar and spread over the top of the pie using a spatula. Sprinkle the lime zest as a garnish on top of the sour cream and serve chilled.
