Apple Pie in a Brown Paper Bag
Here is an old recipe for a delicious apple pie with two different crusts that was once baked in a brown paper grocery bag. The top crust resembles an extremely crisp sugar cookie. Nowadays, though, using parchment paper when cooking is preferred.

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.
