- Here's the Mock Apple Pie recipe. I just picked it up from Nabisco web page their products and many things to do. If you go to home page first, scroll down to Kitchen, click on which for the recipes.
- Roll out half the pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Place crackers in prepared crust. In saucepan, over high heat, heat water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a boil and simmer for 15 min. Add in lemon juice and rind; cold. Pour syrup over crackers. Dot with margarine; sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie. Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 F for 30-35 min or possibly till crust is crisp and golden brown. Cold completely.
- The History of RITZ Mock Apple Pie: Food historians believe which the concept of mock apple pie was developed by the pioneers during the nineteenth century. Constant travel did not allow for proper food storage conditions, and apples were not always available. With a little improvisation, these pioneers created an apple pie-like dessert out of crackers, sugar, and spice. It wasn"t till the Depression years which we saw the emergence of this unique recipe on RITZ Cracker boxes. At the time of RITZ Mock Apple Pie"s development, apples were once again scarce and very expensive. Thanks to NABISCO, families across the United States could once again enjoy and afford the luxury of Apple Pie.
