APPLE PIE IN A BAG



Apple Pie in a Bag image

Good Housekeeping's famous recipe from 1961. We've updated it to bake the pie in a plastic oven-cooking bag, which is safer and simple than the brown bag originally called for.

Categories     pie     apple     Cinnamon     dessert     pastry

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium Golden Delicious apples
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 frozen 9-inch pie shell
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 large oven-cooking bag (20" by 14") with nylon tie

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and thinly slice apples to make 8 heaping cups.
  • In large bowl, toss apples with cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons flour. Fill pie shell with apple mixture, piling them high in center.
  • In small bowl, with hand, knead margarine or butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup flour into a soft dough. Pull dough into small pieces; flatten each slightly and arrange on top of apple mixture. (It is not necessary to completely cover the apple mixture.) Insert several wooden skewers (about 4 inches tall) in pie so that oven-cooking bag will not touch top of pie during baking.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pie in oven-cooking bag. Close bag with nylon tie; cut six 1/2-inch slits in top of bag. Place pie in jelly-roll pan or on cookie sheet. Set pan on rack in center of oven (make sure bag does not touch oven walls or oven racks). Bake pie 1 hour and 15 minutes or until top of pie is golden brown.
  • Remove pie from oven, bag and all. Carefully, with kitchen shears, cut bag open. Remove pie from bag. (The bottom of the bag will be greasy!) Set pie on plate on wire rack to cool.

APPLE PIE IN A BROWN PAPER BAG



Apple Pie in a Brown Paper Bag image

This is the most incredible pie. Cooking it in the brown paper bag makes the filling soft and juicy and the top crunchy. I have made this recipe for over 25 years and everyone who has ever eaten it can't believe how wonderful it is! I was given this recipe by my best friend and I think she got it from her friend's grandmother. After so many years I decided it was time to share it with the world! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Reheats very well.

Time 1h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ½ tablespoons cold water, or more as needed
5 pounds Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground ginger
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup softened butter
½ cup superfine sugar
2 12x30-inch pieces of parchment paper

Steps:

  • To make the bottom crust, stir the flour and white sugar together in a bowl until well-combined. Rub the unsalted butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle with cold water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, mixing the dough together lightly with a fork until it barely holds together.
  • Form the dough into a ball and roll it out to a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Gently ease the dough into an 8-inch pie dish. Cut off any excess pastry with a knife. Finish the edge of the crust by gently pressing the tines of a fork into the dough all the way around the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
  • To make the pie filling, stir the apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice together in a large bowl; set aside.
  • To make the topping, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, and the superfine sugar together in a bowl until you have a sticky, moist dough.
  • To assemble the pie, cover the bottom of the pie crust with a light, even layer of graham cracker crumbs. Fill the pie with the apple mixture, piling it up in a mound shape. Pinch off pieces of the topping mixture, flatten them a little with your fingers, and dot them at random all over the top of the filling, covering as much of the filling as possible.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Tear off 2 30-inch-long pieces of parchment paper and place them in a cross shape on a work surface. Place the filled pie in the center of the two pieces of parchment, bring the paper ends up over the pie and fold and staple the parchment paper over the pie to completely enclose and seal in the pie. The paper should not touch the top or sides of the pie. Place the parchment-wrapped pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Don't peek inside the parchment paper while baking. Remove from the oven, carefully tear the parchment paper away from the pie, and let cool; serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

DAD'S DELICIOUS APPLE PIE IN-A-BAG



Dad's Delicious Apple Pie In-A-Bag image

My very favorite apple pie, since childhood!! For the crust I always use Dad's Mazola No-Roll Pastry Shell. Dad always used Granny Smith apples, but I've found that Pink Lady apples also work beautifully in this pie--sometimes I use a combination of Granny Smith and Pink Ladies. Don't forget the vanilla ice cream! (Note: for those of you uncomfortable using a brown paper bag in the oven, you can omit that step and bake w/o the bag- - it's quite good that way too, -but- it won't be quite the same. Baking in the bag really does produce the most amazing pie!). I hope you enjoy this pie as much as we do!

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (I use Dad's Mazola No-Roll Pie/Pastry Shell)
2 1/2 lbs cooking apples (to make 7 cups good sized chunks, I use 6 or 7 extra-large Granny Smiths)
1 cup granulated sugar, divided use
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided use
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I use a little of each) or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I use a little of each)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup very soft butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 large brown paper bag (plain brown paper grocery bag, preferably without ink or printing if possible)

Steps:

  • About an hour and a half before serving pie:.
  • Prepare favorite pastry pie crust (ie Dad's Mazola No-Roll Pie/Pastry Shell). Then make pie shell having fluted or rope edge.
  • Start heating oven to 400 d F. Wash, pare then quarter apples; cut each quarter into 4 pieces, making 7 cups good-sized chunks.
  • In a large bowl, toss apple chunks with a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and the nutmeg or cinnamon, until each apple chunk is completely coated. Fill pie shell with apple chunks, piling them high in the center of the pie; then sprinkle them with lemon juice.
  • Thoroughly mix 1/2 cup each of sugar and flour, and the butter, into a soft paste; spread over top of piled apple chunks.
  • Place pie in paper bag (so the opening is to the side, not the top), closing and stapling open end (I fold over the open end once, then staple shut with a staple or two). Set on rack in center of oven and bake about 1 hour (you may have to bake longer: up to one hour and forty five minutes, depending on your apples), until apples test done and pie is golden and caramelized. (Note: Never leave pie unattended while baking, especially when using the paper bag method!).
  • When pie is nicely browned, remove pie from oven and let cool in the bag for 5-10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove pie from the paper bag and place pie on rack. Let pie cool on rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Then, while still warm, cut pie into wedges and serve as is, with favorite cheese, or topped with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well and provide a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Use fresh, ripe apples: Fresh apples will have a better flavor and texture than apples that are old or mealy.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar are classic apple pie spices. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
  • Don't overfill the bags: Leave some room at the top of the bags so the apples have room to expand as they cook.
  • Seal the bags tightly: Make sure the bags are sealed tightly so the apples don't leak out during cooking.
  • Cook the bags in boiling water: This is the fastest way to cook the apples.
  • Serve warm: Apple pie in a bag is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple pie in a bag is a quick and easy way to make a delicious, classic dessert. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a warm, comforting apple pie without all the hassle of traditional pie making. So next time you're craving apple pie, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
