  To make the pie: 1) Combine the first measure of flour, salt and
  shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse
  crumbs, then stir in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and
  form the dough into a ball. 2)      Roll out the pastry dough on a
  lightly floured board. Roll to an 11" or 12" diameter and fit into a
  9" pie pan fluting the edges. 3) 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: 4) 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. 5)      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. Bake until the apples are tender (50-60 minutes).
  6) Carefully remove the pie from the bag ~ CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE
  STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG! 7) Serve warm with generous portions of
  vanilla ice cream.
