Brown Bag French Apple Pie Recipe


Brown Bag French Apple Pie Recipe
This is a very good pie. I got this recipe from a co-worker who brings it often to this office. When she told me this was made in a paper bag I thought that was crazy, but it sure is a good pie. Enjoy

I like a lot of crumble on top and I usually make mine with 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar so I would double the flour and butter and add 1/2 cup brown sugar.
