No Clean-up Apple Pie (from Georgia)
1 deep dish unbaked pie shell
l large brown paper bag
Filling:
6 cups peeled, thinly sliced tart apples
1/2 c sugar
2 TBS flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS lemon juice
Topping:
1/2 c butter/margarine
1/2 c flour
1/2 c packed brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix all filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to cover apples with lemon juice. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Prepare topping by combining flour with sugar and cutting in butter (make crumbly...about pea sized crumbs). Sprinkle topping evenly over the apple mixture and pat down around the edges of the crust. Slide pie into the brown bag and fold the end of the bag under the pie plate. Place pie in bag onto a cookie sheet. Bake 50 minutes.
Nothing to clean up in case it spills over and this is SO good (especially with a little vanilla ice cream or whipped topping!
