Shape dough into a disk. 2. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into a round 2 inches larger in diameter than inverted 9.5-inch deep-dish pie plate. Ease dough into pie plate; trim edge, leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under; pinch to form decorative edge. Cover and refrigerate pie shell. 3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare Apple Filling: Peel, core, and cut apples into 0.25-inch-thick slices. In large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. In medium howl, with wire whisk or fork, beat sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, and egg just until blended. Stir sour-cream mixture into apple mixture; spoon into chilled pie shell. 4. Placc sheet of foil under pie plate; crimp foil edges to form a rim to catch any drips during baking. Bake pie 1 hour, covering loosely with foil if apples are browning too quickly. 5. While pie is baking prepare Streusel Topping: In medium bowl, stir flour, walnuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and orange peel. With fingertips, blend in cold margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumps. 6. After pie has baked 1 hour, turn oven control to 350°F. Sprinkle Streusel Topping evenly over apples.
