We made this recipe last night and it came out fantastic! The filling was flavorful (lots of cinnamon. It will seem like too much when tasting it before cooking but after frying it works out. We had to make a couple of changes based on what we had. We used Cortland for the apples and it only took three of those instead of the 6 in his recipe. I was not going to go out and buy an expensive ingredient like Calvados so we used brandy that we keep on hand, which worked just fine. We also found a good single serving size was half of a pie instead of a whole one.
Finally be careful with the butter, brown sugar and brandy mixture. My first attempt I cooked the butter and brown sugar for the amount of time in the recipe and when I added the brandy the sugar immediately crystallized and had a burnt marshmallow taste. After pitching that out, I melted the butter over medium heat, added the sugar, and just as soon as the sugar dissolved I added the brandy and cooked for a couple minutes.

Bobby,
There simply is no comparison to the Elegant Farmer's Pies, and then to offer a "fried" option? Why would you fry a pie? Is that a southern thing? My only issue with EF's pies is that they are a bit too sweet for my taste, so give me a pie with a nice heritage apple like a Winesap, MaciIntosh or Northern Spy with just the sugar from mom's original recipe and flour as the thickener, as they are supposed to be made with and put it in the bag and as Rachael says YUMMO! Oh yes, and use beet sugar instead of cane sugar, a lot more bang for the buck,

Dear Bobby, We loved all of your Shows! Congratulations! We think you are a great Chef! Could you please tell me how can I get the recipe for the " Brown Bag Apple Pie"? In our home believe or not fry food (very tasty does not settle well, so I bake pretty much everything. The pie the the Elegant Farmer maked looks like something my Family will enjoy! Keep up the good work "Iron Chef"
Love,

Roxana
