Brown Bag Apple Pie

Skin, core and cube apples (approximately 7 cups cubed apples, cut about 1 inch by 1/2 inch). Combine with the sugar, flour, vanilla and cinnamon. Pile into the prepared pie crust and sprinkle with lemon juice.

To make the topping, combine the sugar and flour, then cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apples (the pie will be high). Slide the pie into a heavy brown paper bag, large enough to cover the pie loosely. Fold the end of the bag over and fasten with paper clips. Bake in a 425F oven for 1 hour (bag will not burn). Remove from the oven, open the bag with scissors, and remove the pie to cool on a wire rack.

Seriously, this pie is wonderful warm with vanilla ice cream! Delicious!
