Genuine Deutsch Apple Pie

Submitted by Queen Dragon Mom

"My greatgrandmother Esslinger's recipe. Not the "Dutch" apple pie with crispy topping, this is a very rich sour cream based pie. Baking time varies on what type of apple is used and how large they are to begin with. Keep a close eye on the pie while it bakes so it doesn't burn."
