Hello all,

I'm the friend who sent Margaret the pie recipe and, let me tell you, it was
delicious. I used freshly grated nutmeg and it's amazing what a different
flavor it has from the ground nutmeg I used to use.

I was more than a little nervous about putting the paper bag in such a hot
oven (especially since my stove is a zillion years old) but it worked just
fine. I am changing the instructions in my recipe to read "400° for 1 hour
15 minutes", that way I won't have to keep waiting for the flames to shoot
out of the oven. It's not that I'd mind burning up the oven, but I don't
make pies that often and would hate to have one burn up!

I'm thinking about trying another kind of fruit pie cooked in the bag. The
crust was a gorgeous golden brown and I'm thinking that that's why the bag
was used.

Thanks for all the comments on this recipe...
