Step 1

Preheat oven to Peel and thinly slice 3 or 4 apples, enough to fill an unbaked pie shell.

Step 2

Mix first four ingredients with apple slices in a large bowl.

Step 3

Put apple mixture into pie crust.

Step 4

Mix sugar and flour and cut in soft butter. Sprinkle this topping over apples.

Step 5

Put pie in large brown paper bag on cookie sheet and staple shut.

Step 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.

Step 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.
