July 17: Sour Cream with Apple Pie

Saturday I had another reunion with friends I hadn't seen since before the pandemic, and it was absolutely delightful to see them, catch up on our lives, and share a meal together. I love cooking for people, and I whipped up some of my best and favorite dishes for us (bacon spinach dip, braised beef, mashed cauliflower, and green beans with our homegrown spicy red peppers). For dessert, my friends brought an apple crisp and a tub of sour cream.... to use as a topping to the crisp... which I have never used as a topping, nor even heard of before. (Our go-to has always been whipped cream!) I was hesitant, but willing to try it, and it was absolutely delightful. The sourness/tartness of the sour cream was the perfect balance to the sweetness of the crisp. I was shocked that it tasted so good (as was my husband, who kept saying how delightful it was, and even asked me if this is what I would blog about 😉). 

With delight (and a dollop of whipped cream),
