Heat oven to 375�F. On floured surface, roll dough for piecrust into 12-inch circle. Fit dough into 9-inch pie pan; form stand-up edge; crimp. Melt butter in large saucepan.

Mix together nuts, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in medium-size bowl. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture is crumbly. Mix sour cream, remaining granulated sugar, salt, flour and the vanilla in a bowl. Mix in nutmeg and egg. Drain apples; add to sour cream mixture. Spoon into shell. Top with nut mixture. Place on baking sheet. Bake in 375�F oven 55 minutes, until apples are tender. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Cool 4 hours.
