Weird recipes - Ritz Mock Apple Pie

[Monello]

While reminiscing on old, odd recipes, this classic came up. No apple, apple pie. Yummy

If you're not familiar with it, the Ritz Mock Apple Pie is a combination of lemon-flavored sugar syrup and crumbled Ritz Crackers, topped with cinnamon and baked into a pastry crust.

Ritz Crackers debuted in 1934, and not long after, the recipe for Ritz Mock Apple Pie began appearing on the box. It was there through much of the 1960s, and last appeared in 1993.

I should make that for my new cooking show that I just got an idea for... something sweet for the kids...

Believe it or not, it is actually pretty darn good. It is certainly not a real apple pie, but it is good for what it is .... a sweet novelty that is fun to make and fun to eat.
