In addition to being easy to prepare, this recipe packs quite a punch in terms of flavor. When you're short on time, opt for store-bought, unbaked pie crust, but you'll really be glad you tried my Perfect Pie Crust.

Instructions
Place a baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat to 400°F / 204°C.
Place a raw, rolled-out pie crust on a 9" or 10" pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges if desired (see my perfect pie crust recipe and video for crimping technique). Set the pie shell aside.
For the filling
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Add the sour cream, heavy cream, and egg to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Add the wet mixture to the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until fully mixed.
Add the chopped apples and stir to combine. Let the apples soak in the cream mixture as you prepare the topping.
For the topping
Add the flour, sugar, oats, and cinnamon to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Using a box or hand grater, grate the cold butter over the flour mixture. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the grated butter into the flour mixture until crumbly and no pieces remain that are larger than the size of a pea.
Assembling and baking the pie
Pour the apple filling into the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling until fully covered.
Lightly beat the egg white and cream in a small bowl using a fork. Brush the rim of the pie with egg wash until coated.
Place the pie in the preheated oven on the hot baking sheet, and bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the center of the pie is set. It should not jiggle.
Let the pie fully cool before serving.
