Tender apple pie with sour cream filling is a true embodiment of coziness and home warmth. This recipe comes from Russian cuisine, where apples traditionally play an important role in baking. The shortcrust pastry, soft and airy thanks to the sour cream, perfectly complements the sweet-sour apple filling. The sour cream topping gives the pie a special velvetiness, turning each slice into a delicate delight. This dish is perfect for family tea gatherings and cozy evenings with loved ones. The aroma of cinnamon, if added, deepens the flavor, evoking associations with warm autumn days. This pie can be served warm or chilled, and its harmonious combination of textures and flavors will captivate even the most discerning gourmets.

• Wheat flour: 250 g

• Butter: 150 g
• Baking powder: 1 tsp
• Sugar: 200 g
• Chicken egg: 1 pc

Cooking steps

1. I soften the butter, personally I melt it in a bowl on the stove until it becomes liquid. We add 100 grams of sour cream and flour with baking powder. It's better to sift the flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 150 g
   • Sour cream: 300 g
   • Wheat flour: 250 g
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon

2. Knead a soft, homogeneous dough and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, let's prepare the filling and topping. Topping: whisk the remaining sour cream with sugar, egg, and two tablespoons of flour until the sugar is completely dissolved. You can also add cinnamon to the topping, although it's very tasty without it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sour cream: 300 g
   • Sugar: 200 g
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Wheat flour: 250 g

4. Filling: remove seeds and other unwanted insides from the apples. I leave the skin on, but it's a matter of preference. Cut into thin but large slices. (Don't forget to turn on the oven beforehand to let it preheat!)

   Required ingredients:

   • Sour apples: 3 pieces

5. The dough has cooled down by this time. We take a mold and lay the dough in it, making high edges. I don't grease the mold with oil, as there is enough oil in the dough, but if your mold is not silicone, you can grease it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 150 g

6. We place the apples in the mold.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sour apples: 3 pieces

7. And we fill the mold with the filling. We ensure that the pieces of apple sticking out are also coated.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sour cream: 300 g

8. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about an hour.

9. We let the pie cool so the filling sets. Yum! :)
