1. We know that Eric picked $$36$$ apples.

2. The original method was packing the apples into 4 bags with 9 apples each, since
   $$
   4 \times 9 = 36.
   $$

3. To find another valid method, we need to find numbers $$a$$ and $$b$$ such that
   $$
   a \times b = 36,
   $$
   where $$a$$ represents the number of apples per bag and $$b$$ represents the number of bags.

4. Consider the option: "by putting 6 apples into each of 6 bags." Check the product:
   $$
   6 \times 6 = 36.
   $$
   This is a valid method.

5. For confirmation, let's quickly check the other options:
   - "by putting 8 apples into each of 4 bags" gives:
     $$
     8 \times 4 = 32 \quad (\text{not }36).
     $$
   - "by putting 11 apples into each of 2 bags" gives:
     $$
     11 \times 2 = 22 \quad (\text{not }36).
     $$
   - "by putting 15 apples into each of 3 bags" gives:
     $$
     15 \times 3 = 45 \quad (\text{not }36).
     $$

6. Therefore, the correct alternative way is:
   $$
   \textbf{by putting 6 apples into each of 6 bags.}
   $$
Eric could also pack the apples by putting 6 apples into each of 6 bags.
