Best Ever Apple Pie (aka. Brown Paper Bag Pie)

With the holiday's comes PIE!! Whenever I am asked to make a pie I make this one. It is easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand.

Crust:
1 ½ cup Flour
2 tsp. Sugar
¾ tsp. Salt
½ cup Veg. Oil
2 Tbs. Milk
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and pat into pie pan. Yes, it is true- No Rolling!

Filling:
6-8 apples (should be mounded)
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp. Nutmeg
2 tsp. Flour
Mix together and pour into the crust. I do this first and put it in the fridge while I make the crust because then it gets gooey delicious.

Topping:
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Flour
½ cup Butter
Mix until crumbly and sprinkle on the apples.

Now this is when it gets really weird. You put the pie into a brown paper bag and staple it closed (make sure when it is closed that it does not touch the coils in the oven, if it does squish it down and staple it smaller). Place the bagged pie on a cookie sheet, again this is so the bag does not catch on fire from the rack. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Then rip open the bag and brown the top for about 5 minutes more.

It tastes soo good; the crust is a little sweet and the pie is moist and wonderful. It is easy to make and if it spills over in the oven, the mess stays in the bag.

* Note I have made this a lot and I have NEVER caugh the bag on fire in the oven!!
