How To make Mock Apple Pie (Cracker Pie)

SURPRISING Mock Apple Pie! - 1940's Ritz Cracker Recipe

Ok so if you didn't tell me this wasn't apple, I wouldn't have believed you. The flavor, the texture, the smell ALL said apple pie. But PSYCHE! Its Ritz Crackers.

This was one of the best recipes I've tried - not that I need to carbo load... but holy moly if you are in a bind and don't have apples but have crackers, well, somehow it goes well with ice cream.

I'd highly recommend this recipe!!

Also on a side note, please ignore the light fluctuations (damn skylight) and the focus fluctuations... I agreed to have someone help me man the camera and I dont think the setting was set up right.


Here is the recipe!

This pie tastes just like apple pie!!! Seriously! How???? It is sooooo good served warm with whipped cream or ice cream! YUM!!! I read that they used to make then in the days of the depression because apples were hard to come by, but crackers weren't. Who knows if Ritz crackers made that up. I'm not sure! Anyways thanks for watching. You should definitely make this pie!

Ritz Mock Apple Pie Review

Ritz Mock Apple Pie is made with crackers instead of apples and is supposed to taste just like an apple pie. It sounds so crazy I had to try it. And I’m glad I did!

Mock Apple Pie

This recipe turned out awesome! I used the main recipe from Ritz for the majority of the pie. But instead of putting a crust over the top of the pie as called for in the original recipe I used the crumble part of the recipe from Allrecipes. When I was getting the links for the two recipes I used to make this pie I discovered a recipe to make the pie as I did with the regular pie and crumble on top. Here's the link:
