Silver Palate Sour Cream Apple Pie was the most popular apple pie at The Silver Palate, the gourmet take-out shop that Julee Rosso and I opened in New York City in 1977. This pie will win raves in your home too! When chopping the walnuts, make sure they're not too fine.

This cake should not be assembled until just before serving.

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Raspberries are both baked in this tender, moist cake and served with it.
