Apple Wrapper Pie

Pastry for one-crust pie
2/3 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c all-purpose flour
4 c thinly sliced tart apples (peeled)
1 Tbsp butter
granulated sugar, if desired

Heat oven 425*F. Roll pastry into 13-inch circle and place on a large ungreased cooking sheet. Cover it with plastic wrap to keep moist while making filling.

Mix brown sugar and flour. Stir in apples. Mound apple mixture onto pastry to within 3 inches of edge. Cut butter into small pieces and sprinkle over apples. Fold edge of pastry over apples, making pleats so it lays on top of apples. Sprinkle pastry with sugar.

Bake 30-35 minutres (until crust is lightly golden brown). To prevent excessive browning, cover center of pie with 5-inch square of aluminum foil during last 10-15 minutes of baking. Cool on cookie sheet or wire rack 1 hour, or serve warm!
