Apple Pie in a Bag
Mark Boughton/styling: Teresa Blackburn
- Yield: servings
"When I read the November issue of Relish and your note about cooking turkey in a brown paper bag, I was reminded of the delicious apple pies that my late husband, John Wesley Holder, Jr., used to bake in brown paper bags. They were quite a hit with our family and friends. His mother worked at the hospital, and he would take one while hot for her to share with coworkers. I hope others will try and enjoy."
