Brown Bag Apple Cinnamon Pie Recipe is the BEST apple pie in the whole world and it’s the bag + bake time does the trick! Our homemade apple pie bakes in a brown paper bag to keep all the aromatics inside to achieve a rich, deep flavor! We’re combining a homemade pie crust with crisp apples, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice! Then we’re topping it off with a mouthwatering crumble topping! Our apple pie is a show stopper and we hope you adore every single bite. Wow all of your guests with our homemade apple cinnamon pie recipe this year! We like to serve it with fresh whipped cream or for an extra special treat or serve hot with some vanilla bean ice cream to make it an ala mode!
Today’s Brown Bag Apple Cinnamon Pie Recipe a family favorite!
Our Brown Bag Apple Cinnamon Pie has been adored by our family for more years than I can remember but a long time for sure! One time, I gave some to an elderly neighbor of ours and she started to get teary. She shared with me her memory of the flavor of this fabulous apple pie that she adored as a child- all she remembered was that it was baked in a brown paper bag. The recipe had been lost to her for years. She was thrilled to be reunited with this recipe again and to bake it in her home once again! I’m telling you this pie leaves lasting impressions~ you’ve simply got to make one for your family and friends!

One more story about this AH-mazing pie (so you get to making one)! Back when my son Jake was still in high school he text me to ask if I’d bring him a book then his last reply was, “and make sure to bring me a slice of that apple pie!” It’s just THAT good. You’ll have your family in heaven with every bite! 🙂
