Source: The Best of Country Cooking  2006

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 egg
• ½ cup sour cream
• ⅓ cup honey
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large tart apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

TOPPING:

• ½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and nutmeg.  In another bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.  Stir into dry ingredients.  Fold in the apples.  Spoon into pastry shell. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over filling.

Bake at 450° for 25 minutes.  Reduce heat to 325°; bake 25-30 minutes  longer or until the apples are tender (cover pie edges loosely with foil, if necessary, to prevent overbrowning).  Cool on a wire rack.  Store in the refrigerator. 

Yield: 6-8 servings.
