I have been wanting to try using this recipe and baking an apple pie in a paper bag for awhile now so, decided to try it out for dessert for Christmas. I got all kinds of stares when I put it in the oven, not to mention the comments about whether or not the bag would catch on fire. I ignored those negative Nelly's and did it anyway. My husband is picky and opinionated about his desserts, and especially apple pie. He prefers crumb crust on top over a crust. My vindication came when we all sat down to dessert and everyone started shoveling bites of a perfectly golden brown crust, topping and tender apple filling into their mouths. I thought I was going to pass out when my husband said....and I quote, "this is THE BEST apple pie I have ever eaten". I have to say.....it was.....IT WAS!!!!!!!
