Number Of Ingredients 17

Filling:
2/3 C light brown sugar
2/3 C granulated sugar
pinch of salt
24 ounces Sour Cream
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
3 large eggs
6 T bread flour
12 large granny smith apples

2/3 C light brown sugar

pinch of cinnamon
1 1/2 sticks cold butter

may use pre made pie dough

Steps:

  • mix 1st 4 ingredients for streussal in a medium size bowl. Cut butter in to small dime size pieces and add to sugar. Mix using fingers or a mixer. Do not over mix... you want it to look like chunky dime size pieces. Now add walunts and toss. Set aside. Using 2 lightly greased 9 inch pie plates, prepare and place premade pie dough in plates, and dock well. (dock~ poke lots of holes using a fork!) and then set aside in a large bowl, mix 1st 3 ingredients. Then add sour cream and vanilla, mix well. In a small seperate container, beat eggs and flour until smooth, then add to rest of ingredients. Peel and core apples then cut in half (length wise) and slice thin...about an 1/8 of an inch wide and add to batter. Make sure to cover all slices well. Using your hands, take apple slices and fill pie pltes to the top. Fill holes with remaining batter. Cover entire top with streussal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 2 hours and 15 minutes on bottom rack. Let stand for about an hour at room temperature. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
