Today's Recipe:

"Brown Bag" French Apple Pie

For The Pie:

1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Shortening
5 tbsp Ice Water
8 c Apples (peeled & sliced)
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Nutmeg, Ground
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Cinnamon, Ground

Combine the first measure of flour, salt and shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and form the dough into a ball.

Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to an 11" or 12" diameter and fit into a 9" pie pan fluting the edges.

Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the lemon juice in a large bowl then toss the apple slices in the mixture and arrange them in the pie crust.

For The Topping:

1/2 c Granulated Sugar
1/2 c All-Purpose Flour
1/3 c Butter
1 lg Paper Bag
Vanilla Ice Cream

Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter then sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.

Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag and place the paper bag on a baking
sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under. Bake until the apples
are tender (50-60 minutes).

Carefully remove the pie from the bag ~ CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM
COMING OUT OF THE BAG!

Serve warm with generous portions of vanilla ice cream.
