Here is how you make Apple Pie in a Brown Paper Bag:

1. To make the bottom crust, stir the flour, wheat germ, flax seed meal, & Splenda together in a bowl until well-combined. Rub the Smart Balance into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; add the apple sauce; sprinkle with cold water, a tablespoons at a time, mixing the dough together lightly with a fork until it barely holds together.2. Form the dough into a ball & roll it out to a circle about 1/8-in. thick. Gently ease the dough into an 8-in. 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.3. To make the pie filling, stir the apples, brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. of flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, & lemon juice together in a large bowl; set aside.4. To make the topping, mix the flour, wheat germ, flax seed meal, softened Smart Balance, & the Splenda together in a bowl until you have a sticky, moist dough.5. 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, & dot them at random all over the top of the filling, covering as much of the filling as possible.6. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).7. Tear off 2 30-in.-long pieces of parchment paper & 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 & fold & staple the parchment paper over the pie to completely enclose & 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.8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hr. Don't peek inside the parchment paper while baking. Remove from the oven, carefully tear the parchment paper away from the pie, & let cool; serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.Serving Size: 1/10th of an 8-in. PieNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LFERGUSON0.
