I had some apples that I wanted to use up and decided to make a pie.
Looking for something different than my traditional apple pie, I found a recipe for a
Sour Cream Apple Pie with Streusel Topping on
I was out of Sour Cream so I used Greek Yogurt.
I often substitute yogurt for sour cream and vice versa.
Based on a few of the comments left on Simply Recipes, I was a little concerned about the baking time and whether it would be sufficient for the apples to become tender.
I sliced the apples very thin and I would do so again.
Next time I would also lower the temperature to 375°F after the first 25 minutes.
Because I found the crust was browning to quickly.
I ended up draping foil over the rim
because I was afraid it would burn before the apples were tender.
I would definitely make this pie again.
