Paper Bag Apple Pie - Easy Recipes

• 3 to 4 large baking apples (about 2 1/2 pounds or 7 cups)s, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
• 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
• 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup flour, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (9- to 11-inch) unbaked pastry shell
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, room temperature
• 1 large, unused brown paper bag

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss apples with 1/2 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the flour, and the nutmeg. Spoon into pastry shell and drizzle with lemon juice.

To make the topping, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup remaining flour, and the butter. Cut with two knives until mixture is combined and crumbly. Sprinkle over apples, covering the entire top.

Slide pie into a heavy brown paper bag large enough to cover pie loosely. Fold the open end over twice and staple to fasten securely. Place on a large cookie sheet. Do not let paper bags come into contact with the sides of the stove. Bake for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and split bag open. Remove pie and cool on wire rack. Serve with Cheddar cheese or ice cream. Makes about 8 servings.
