Apple Pie is popular throughout the year, but especially at Thanksgiving and during the holidays where pies are a must. Regular Apple Pie is always good, but this Sour Cream Apple Pie with Pecan Streusel is extra special; it has a creamy apple filling and extra crunchy topping with plenty of toasted pecans.

Although refrigerated pie crusts are always available and save time, they aren’t as good as homemade; it’s not really difficult to make a buttery, flaky crust from scratch. Basic Pie Crust is made quickly in the food processor. The filling and topping are both simple to make with minimum of ingredients.

This showstopper pie will woo both family and guests; no one will skip dessert and this pie will become a favorite.
