Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  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.  From Gemini's
