Wisconsin Brown Bag Apple Pie
2½ Lbs. Apples (use two types)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
½ cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 unbaked pie crust
¾ cup softened butter
¾ cup flour
½ cup sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
Peel and slice apples. Immediately place cut apples in lemon juice to
prevent browning. combine sugar, flour and cinnamon, and coat apples
with mixture. Place apple mixture in your favorite pie crust. Combine
softened butter, flour, sugar and brown sugar to make frosting. Spread
frosting over apples. Do not place a top crust on the pie. Place pie in
a brown paper grocery bag and staple shut. Place brown bag in center of
oven making sure the sides of the bag do not touch the sides of the
oven. Bake at 400 for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Rip open top of bag of bag immediately after
baking being careful not to let steam burn you. Let pie cool and set for 1 hour.
(It gets better and better with each passing hour!) Makes 1 pie or 8
large servings, which is certainly not enough!
