Core, peel, and slice the apples using an apple peeler.

Cut out any bad spots on the apples and slice them into halves.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix well, preferably whisking to eliminate lumps.

Add the sliced apples (about 6 cups) to the dry mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple mixture and mix thoroughly.

Grease a 7 to 9-inch baking dish and spread the apple mixture evenly in the dish.

Slice 2 tablespoons of butter and distribute it over the top of the apples.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30 to 45 minutes until bubbly and tender when poked with a fork.

Halfway through baking, stir the apples to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
