Sour Cream Apple Pie With Streusel Topping

A tasty spiced streusel tops this sour cream apple pie. With no top crust, it eliminates much of the pastry work. This recipe includes an easy food processor pastry recipe, but you can cut prep time significantly with a frozen crust or refrigerated pastry sheet.

Feel free to add about 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the crumb topping.
