Yummy Apple pie just with no apples......
Angela - October 9, 2007 07:08:01 AM PSTThis pie has been in my family for years! My dad even likes it better than apple pie. We don\'t use the lemon juice or the ritz crackers though. We just use plain saltine crackers. It is a quick and easy way to make apple pie when apples are not in season or you simply don\'t have time to slice them all up. I really recommend trying this before you make a decision about it.

I had no idea
clintcurtis2000 - April 17, 2008 04:20:53 PM PST...that people actually made this! I\'ve seen the recipe on the side of Ritz Cracker boxes, but always thought, "No Way!" I\'ll make it a point to try it out now.
Hey, you know what would be cool? If "Iron Chef" did a competition in Kitchen Stadium to make Mock Apple Pie.1 of 1 found this review helpful.

Childhood memories
CB - September 15, 2009 07:00:27 AM PSTOne of my friends made this pie when I was in Elementary school and I remember it. Lately I have been told I\\'m allergic to Fruits and most Vegetables, but the apple pie was my favorite. I\\'m glad I found this recipe so I can enjoy "apple pie" again.
