Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 unbaked pie shell
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3 - 4 medium apples, thinly sliced
TOPPING
1/2 tsp sugar
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 c flour, use less if apples are not juicy.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425. Peel and thinly slice 3 or 4 apples, enough to fill an unbaked pie shell.
  • 2. Mix first four ingredients with apple slices in a large bowl.
  • 3. Put apple mixture into pie crust.
  • 4. Mix sugar and flour and cut in soft butter. Sprinkle this topping over apples.
  • 5. Put pie in large brown paper bag on cookie sheet and staple shut.
  • 6. Place in oven taking care not to touch the element. Bake at 425 for 1 hour. Brown bag will scorch but will not catch fire.
  • 7. Depending on your oven, you may need to take out a wire rack. The brown bag gets no bigger than what it is when you staple it shut.
