I was browsing again through Grandma's Recipe Box and discovered a recipe that I don't remember Grandma making very often.

This is a bit strange because the recipe card displays obvious signs of usage: random splatters and some crustiness!

As I read the recipe I noticed it contained one of Grandma's favorite baking ingredients - and coincidentally, one of my most hated - Cool Whip. But I do think this may be quite good, and as a matter of fact, I wish I had a piece to go with my espresso right now . . . .

Take a look, here's the recipe:

Sour Cream Apple Pie

For Walnut Crust:

1/2 Cup finely chopped Walnuts

1.2 Cup butter or margarine

1 Cup Flour
