Apple Pie In Bag - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 (10 or 11 oz.) pkg. pie crust mix
7 to 8 Golden Delicious apples (8 c. apples, sliced thin)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. flour (all-purpose)
1/2 c. margarine or butter

Preparation

You will need one large cooking bag (20 x 14-inch) with nylon tie.
Prepare pie crust mix as directed for 9-inch pie crust. Line pie plate with high fluted edges.
Peel, core and thinly slice apples.
In large bowl, toss apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and cinnamon.
Fill pie shell with mixture; pile high in center.
In small bowl with hands, knead butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour into soft dough.
Pull dough into small pieces; flatten each slightly and arrange on top of apple mixture.
It is not necessary to completely cover apple mixture. Insert several wood skewers (4-inch tall)* so bag will not touch top of pie while baking.
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Place pie in bag; close with nylon tie.
Cut 6 1/2-inch slits in top of bag.
Place on cookie sheet.
Set on center rack.
Be sure bag does not touch oven sides, racks or walls.
Bake for 1 hour or until brown. Remove from oven.
With shears, cut bag open.
Take out pie; bottom of pan will be greasy.
Sit on wire rack to cool.
Serves 8.
