Method
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

- Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board.
- Roll to an 11 or 12 inch diameter and fit into a 9 inch pie pan fluting the edges.
- Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the lemon juice in a large bowl then toss the apple slices in the mixture and arrange them in the pie crust.
- To make the topping:
- Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter then sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
- Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag and place the paper bag on a baking sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under.

- 6) Carefully remove the pie from the bag.
- CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG!
