Sour Cream Apple Pie with Streusel Topping

Filling
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbs. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 egg
1 lemon juiced
4 cups peeled, sliced granny smith apples, squeezing lemon juice over apples to cover
1- 9" unbaked pie shell, chilled in the fridge for at least 30 min.

Topping
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together all ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2.  Beat together sour cream, sugar, flour, salt, vanilla, spices and egg (slightly beaten by hand).  Add apples, mixing carefully to coat well.
3.  Put filling into a pie shell and bake initially for 25 minutes.
4.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake for an additional 20 more minutes.

Let cool for an hour before serving.

This pie actually won me a blue ribbon.  Okay, it was a ward party blue ribbon!  But I'll take it!
