#3065 - Brown Bag Apple Pie

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 cup white sugar
3 heaping TBSP flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick cold butter
1 - 9" unbaked pie crust dough
7-8 baking apples (washed, peeled, cored and sliced)
extra cinnamon and white sugar for sprinkling

Spray a 9" pie plate with Pam--insert the pie dough, flute the edges and spray the inside of the dough with Pam. In a bowl add white sugar, flour, and cinnamon--stir. Add lemon juice and sliced apples--stir well. Pour the apple mixture into the pie dough. Slice the cold butter into small pieces and place them evenly over the apples. Optional: sprinkle some more cinnamon and white sugar all over the top. Slide the pie into a large brown paper bag, fold the bag a few times and staple it shut. Place the whole thing on a cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour. Cut the bag off and let the pie cool.
