Recipe for "apple-pie-2"

NAME

     APPLE-PIE-2 - Apple pie with sour cream goodness
     This recipe came from my wife's boss, Dick Dolan, the editor
     of the Hewlett Packard Journal. It is sinfully delicious and
     never lasts very long, even if you don't  have  help  eating
     it!

INGREDIENTS (Makes 2 pies)

          PIE
     650 g     tart apples
     300 g     sugar
     25 g      flour
     750 ml    sour cream
     2         eggs, beaten
     5 ml      vanilla
     2         deep-dish pastry shells, 23 cm wide
          TOPPING
     215 g     sugar
     75 g      flour
     7.5 ml    cinnamon
     120 g     butter

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat the oven to 200 deg. C.  In a large  bowl,
               combine  the  sugar,  flour, sour cream, eggs, and
               vanilla into a smooth mixture.
          (2)  Core, peel, and chop the apples. Boil  them  in  a
               small  amount  of  water with a little lemon juice
               for 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to get tender.
          (3)  Drain apples and add to the mixture.
          (4)  Pour into two 23-cm pastry shells.
          (5)  Bake at 200 deg. C for 30 minutes.
          (6)  While pies are baking, crumble topping ingredients
               into  a  bowl  and mix with a pastry cutter or two
               knives.
          (7)  Remove pies  from  oven  and  cover  with  topping
               recipe.
          (8)  Put pies under broiler for 1 to  2  minutes  until
               the topping begins to bubble.

NOTES

     Don't take your eyes off the pies while  they're  under  the
     broiler. A moment's inattention can mean burned pie!
     If there is any pie  left  over,  the  remainder  should  be
     refrigerated.

RATING

     Difficulty: moderate.   Time:  20  minutes  preparation,  30
     minutes baking.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
