To Assemble:

Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out pastry on well floured surface. Fit into a 10 inch pie plate. Trim and flute edge high as the filling is generous

To Make Topping:

While the filling is baking, in a medium bowl combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and pinch of salt, mix well. With a pastry blender, cut in 1/2 cup butter until well blended. Add walnuts, mix well.

Wonderful! I have not been to Bookbinders for more years than I'd like to own up to but remember the bliss of their pie. The addition of cinnamon to the pastry is part of what makes the entire bite so special.

I can vouch for this! Found the recipe in the mid-80's I think...made it for family and it became legend. However, I eventually forgot about it until someone requested it. Took it to Thanksgiving and everyone said it was the best pie they'd ever had. Thank you for posting it...that's a lot of typing!

Is this Bookbinders as in Philadelphia? Used to pass by there almost every day when I lived on my way to classes. Thanks for posting this, Ray!

Sounds like a delicious apple pie to me - and pretty as well. I like the sour cream add to the filling. Your alternate version sounds good, too. Thanks for sharing...

Sounds like my 'Almost Aunt Carol's (that's a story for another day) sour cream apple pie, and I know that's delicious, so this is an obvious winner! Your picture has me salivating. I wish I had a slice of this right now. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie
