SOUR CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Beat eggs until light & fluffy.
• Add sugar, flour, almond extract. Mix well.
• Fold in sour cream & craisins.
• Pour into pie shell.
• Place on baking sheet & put into oven. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Pie should be lightly browned and set in the middle. It will still "jiggle" slightly and will firm as it cools.
• Cool, cut into wedges, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Note: I have also subbed dried apricots (finely diced)for the craisins and added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg for a different pie.

MIMI'S SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and beat till light and fluffy.
• Grease a 9x13 pan and spread one-half of the mixture in the bottom (see note below).
• Add half of the topping.
• Add the rest of the batter and spread carefully.
• Sprinkle the rest of the topping on top.
• Bake 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes----for two bread pans you will need more time---about 30-40 minutes.
• NOTE: If you do it in a bread pan, put one-third of the batter in the bottom of the pan, then one-third of the cinnamon mixture and so on until you have three layers. Yummmmy!
