PIE

TOPPING

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, sour cream, eggs and vanilla into a smooth mixture.

Core, peel and chop the apples. Boil them in a small amount of water with a little lemon juice for 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to get tender. Drain apples and add to the mixture.

Pour into two 9-inch pastry shells. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 30 minutes.

While pies are baking, crumble topping ingredients into a bowl and mix with a pastry cutter or two knives. Remove pies from oven and cover with topping recipe. Put pies under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until the topping begins to bubble.

Don't take your eyes off the pies while they're under the broiler. A moment's inattention can mean burned pie! NOTES:

* Apple pie with sour cream goodness -- This recipe came from my wife's boss, Dick Dolan, the editor of the _Hewlett Packard Journal_.

It is sinfully delicious and never lasts very long, even if you don't have help eating it!

* If there is any pie left over, the remainder should be refrigerated.
