The original recipe called for any kind of cooking apples but when Mildred planted a Golden Delicious apple tree for her boys in her back yard, she used those and never switched again. One more change: Now she bakes the pie in a plastic oven-cooking bag, safer and simpler than the brown paper bag called for in 1961. 1/2 (10- to 11- ounce) package pie crust mix 7 to 8 medium Golden Delicious apples (about 3 1/2 pounds) 1/2 teaspoon tea·spoon n.

Insert several wooden skewers (about 4 inches tall) in pie so that the oven-cooking bag will not touch the top of the pie during baking. Place pie in oven-cooking bag.
