NORA'S PAPER BAG APPLE PIE 
1 unbaked pie shell
5-6 c. sliced apples
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. butter

TOPPING:

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. butter

Peel, core and slice apples. Combine sugar, flour and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples. Toss until well coated. Spoon into pastry shell. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Dot with butter.

For the topping, combine flour and sugar in small bowl, cut in butter. Sprinkle this mixture over apples, covering the top well. Place pie in brown bag large enough to cover loosely. Fold bag over, fasten with paper clip. Place on cookie sheet.

Bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees for 1 hour. Apples will be tender, top bubbly. Split bag, remove pie to rack and cool. (Watch when splitting the bag because of the steam.)
