Classic apple pie gets a serious upgrade in the form of this creamy, tangy, streusel-topped number. With swirls of sour cream, it tastes like the “à la mode” has been baked right in.

Preparation
Filling
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Place the apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, add the sour cream, granulated sugar, eggs, flour, lemon zest and juice, and salt and stir to thoroughly combine. Pour the sour cream mixture over the apples and toss gently to mix. Spoon the apple mixture into the pie shell and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Topping
Step 3
Combine the nuts, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt and mix. Add the butter and mix with your fingertips until the butter is incorporated and the mixture has a crumblike consistency. Sprinkle the topping over the apples and press gently to adhere.
Step 4
Bake for about 1 hour, until the filling is bubbling around the edges and the apples are tender when pierced with a knife. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover with foil until the apples are tender. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
