Sour Cream Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

Sour Cream Apple Pie is my absolute favorite apple pie. It has a rich, buttery, dense crust, a layer of sweet cinnamon apples, another layer of creamy custard, topped with a brown sugar and butter crispy topping.

You don't have to roll out this crust. Just mix the crust ingredients, form it into a ball then press it into your pie tin. Voila..super easy and super flavorfull! How can you go wrong with butter, cream cheese, flour and sugar?
