Paper Bag Apple Pie

Sun_star_n_moon22, Recipe thread, 25 December 08

This recipe I got from my hairdresser, who swore to the high heavens that it was the best apple pie recipe that ever existed. The thing that makes it different than other apple pie recipes is that you cook it in a brown paper bag. (One from the grocery store works just fine). You would think the brown paper bag would catch on fire in the oven, but my hairdresser swore that it didn’t. And God knows, you don’t argue with your hairdresser. It turns out she was right. So now Im sharing the recipe with you!

I hope you enjoy it!

1 unbaked pie shell
4-5 large apples (2 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 butter

Peel and core apples , then slice them thinly. Place apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice in the pie shell. Combine topping ingredients in a bowl and spread evenly over the apple mixture. Slide pie into a heavy brown bag, fold bag and fasten with either staples or paper clips. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 425° F for one hour. Split bag open and remove pie and let cool.

    hhm, it sounds yum. The top is like apple crumble I guess. An Apple Crumble Pie.
    My nan used to put a couple of cloves in her apple pies – they were the absolute best.
