Apple Pie in a Bag

Combine the flour, sugar and salt. Mix the oil and milk and blend with the flour mix and pat into a 9” pie plate.

Combine the sugar, flour and spices and toss with the apples, Put into pie crust.

Mix the flour and sugar and cut in the butter. Pour over top of pie.

Put the pie in a heavy brown paper bag (not a recycled one) and place in the center of the oven. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remember to not let the bag touch the walls of the oven. The bag may produce a small amount of smoke for the first few minutes (this happened each time I have used this recipe). Just keep a close eye on it as it bakes. The bag should be folded closed when you put in the oven. You’ll notice that as pie bakes and the bag heats it will darker in color, that’s normal. Be sure to use oven mitts when you open the bag after the pie is baked, there will be a small amount of steam escaping from the bag.
