Brown Bag Apple Pie

This pie is probably my most favorite pie.  Ever. Of all time. Amen. It has an amazing topping that is more like a cookie than a streusel.  Serve it topped with vanilla ice cream...yum.

4-5 large Granny Smith apples
2 Tbsp. Flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. nutmeg

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter

Make single pie shell for 9 inch pie.

Place sliced and peeled apples in a large bowl. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp. Flour, and nutmeg.  Sprinkle over the apples and toss to coat well.  Put the apple mixture in the prepared pie pan.  Combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the topping in a medium bowl.  Cut the cold butter into the mixture and sprinkle over apples evenly.  Slide pie into a large brown paper bag (regular grocery bag) fold the end of the bag and fasten with staples or metal paper clips.  Place on a cookie sheet.  Put oven rack on the second level from the bottom.  Bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour.  Split bag open; remove pie and cool completely on a trivet. Serve alone or with whipped cream/ice cream for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. :)
