Brown
Bag French Apple Pie Method
To make
the pie:
First thing to do is preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 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 12" diameter and fit into a 9 inch
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.
To make the topping:
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 around
60 minutes. Carefully remove the pie from the bag but watch
out for the steam coming out of the bag. Serve the Brown Bag
French Apple Pie warm with generous portions of vanilla ice
cream.
