Combine butter, flour and sugar to make coarse crumbles and sprinkle evenly over apples. Slide into a heavy brown paper bag large enough to cover loosely. Fold open end twice and fasten with paperclips. Place on cookie sheet and bake @ 425 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
Watch bag closely.
Remove from bag (be careful as paperclips will be hot) and allow to cool completely.
