Amish Sour Cream Apple Pie & How to Make Pie Crust

Jolynna, that looks SO delicious!!
I am going to refer to this recipe as we have tons of apples right now and I feel like a change from the usual crisps and crumbles..

Love the Amish photo. What an interesting area you live in.

Now, about the pie crust recipe and the Amish apple pie recipe.
Thank you, thank you !!

Maybe, just maybe I’ll be a hit at Thanksgiving.

this looks delicious!

I just so happen to have everything in my kitchen to make this delicious pie….except a rolling pin darn it.

I knew I bought 2 huge bags of those Granny Smith apples for some reason.

I hope you like it. I love desserts and pies, but this one is a favorite.

I have a friend that rolls out pies with a pop bottle. So a rolling pin isn’t a necessity to make pies.

Yum, Your photos are amazing as well.

Hi,

Good to see you. Thank you for your kind words.

Jolynna,
I really enjoyed all your pictures, and interesting recipes, and more. Nice to see some rural life, as we don’t see much of that in the Bay Area, California! Thanks for your comment on my post.

Thanks Jen,
Thank you for your kind comments. I like living where life is slower. I have only heard good things about the Bay Area, though. I’ve never been there but have been told it is beautiful and that the weather is perfect.

This pie looks fantastic! I think I’ll try it in the next few days as we are in the midst of apple season!

I hope you like it. My husband and I have such sweet teeth we ate all of it in two days.

Jolynna, your photo is really interesting for someone who lives in another part of the world. I only have a slight knowledge about the Amish way of living. I will try your recipe when our family next comes round for dinner - it does sound so good. Cheers, Jenny.

I love that particular pie. I hope you like it.

It is interesting to read about how others live and about the countries they live in.

greetings from the inn and thanx for stopping by. We live a horse trot or so away (trust me i’ve done it but that’s another story!) from an amish community so i totally related with your photogs. Most of the inn furniture was made by the amish.. will last 4ever.

You apple pie looks scrumptious… Reading over your barn sour problem.. what’s worked for us and again,we’re all experiments of one… is first when they want to go back work ‘em like heck in circles around the barn… walk em away, let em relax and know that’s the place they want to be.

OR what one of my trainer’s has me do is let them take you back there… take ‘em into the arena and work ‘em like heck so they’re thinking hmmmmm maybe that wasnt the smart move after all
happy weekend
hitting the trails here soon
gp in montana

I don’t associate Montana with Amish. But, I have been told that there are Amish in every state. They are wonderful neighbors.

Have fun on the trails!

Pie crusts have been the bane of my baking existence. Maybe it’s time to try again. Thanks for the delicious looking pie recipe and the crust recipe.

The first time I ever tried to make a piecrust, I had a landlady living below my apartment. She actually knocked on my door and asked me if I was pounding meat.

Anyway, I have tried a lot of recipes over the years. This one is my favorite. It’s always flakey and tender, even if it isn’t crimped as perfectly as Martha’s.

I am SO making your pie. I will make several and give them away to our hungry and grateful neighbor boys, except for one. I will eat one slice of “our” pie, and then make Sam and Rob either eat or hide the rest.

I remember going to Shipshewana (spelling?) when Sam was a baby and being infinitely more interested in driving around to look at the Amish farms than I was in the shopping. I know I would have problems with some aspects of living as a plain person (I’d miss my flip flops), but I do secretly love the idea of spending my days cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning and generally being domestic.
