Ingredients

Pie
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
2 Tbls lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup sugar granulated
5 Tbls water ice cold
1/2 cup flour, all-purpose
8 cups apples, tart peeled and sliced
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar granulated
1 x vanilla ice cream
2 Tbls flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

PIE: Combine the first measure of flour, salt and shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and form the dough into a ball. Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to an 11inch or 12 inch diameter.

Fit into a 9 inch pie pan and flute the edges. Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss the apple slices in the mixture.

Arrange the apple slices in the pie crust.

TOPPING: Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter.

Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling. Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag.

Place the paper bag on a baking sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under.

Bake until the apples are tender (50-60 minutes).

Carefully remove the pie from the bag - CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG! Serve warm with generous portions of vanilla ice cream.

Perfectly balanced flavors. Wonderful aroma. I used a 15 oz. can of coconut milk....and added more as the dish simmered.
