Sour Cream Apple Crumble

The perfect autumn dessert during this season of Oktoberfest..

(gosh my oven needs cleaning!)

Penny's Sour Cream Apple Crumble

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

7 cups apples peeled, cored and sliced  {granny smith apples are good, but may take a little longer to bake. Traditional cooking apples (northern spy, etc.) are best.

For crumble

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup cold butter

1 - In large bowl, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. 

2 - Blend in sour cream and vanilla. 

3 - Add apples and mix thoroughly to coat all slices of apple. 

4 - Transfer to baking dish, smoothing top.

For topping: 

5 - Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. 

6 - Using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter to make a coarse crumble. 

7 - Sprinkle evenly over apples. 

8 - Bake  425  for 15 minutes. 

9 - Reduce heat to 350 and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is browned.

So glad I remembered to put a baking sheet under the crumble as it cooked!

Dinner tonight...Oktoberfest sausages, decorated with sauerkraut, hot banana peppers, a good mustard and home-made apple butter.  All washed down with a good German beer.

Ompah-pah!
