Was this my Grandmothers apple pie? No Was this an easy, quick, alternative to the real thing? Very much so. I would make this again for a quick dessert. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe taste great when yo have it fresh. If you wait till it gets cold the chemical reaction doesnt taste the same. I also use 35 crackers so it wont be as watery.

I was curious when I came across this recipe. I had only heard a reference to "Mock Apple Pie" on "The Simpsons" So I had to try it! I used 36 Ritz crackers, (1 "sleeve" of them, out of the box) otherwise followed the recipe. Well. I personally did not care for this pie. It was a VERY rich, sweet, sticky, gluey mass of cracker gel. It sort of resembled apple pie visually, but to me did not taste like apples. It tasted like sugar goo with a little cinnamon. Did I mention it was EXTREMELY sweet? In all fairness, one of my sons ate half the pie by himself. He had not been told anything about it, and when asked later what he thought, he had NOT thought it was apple pie, "just some kind of sweet pie"... "like pecan pie filling without the pecans". So much for sensory illusion. I would not make this again. It's REAL APPLES for me! UPDATE: A different son of mine, who was led to believe it WAS an apple pie, ate about a quarter of the pie. He described it as "Some kind of apple jam pie" ... "I expected there to be chunks of apple in it, but it was just jam like stuff" So, I guess the power of suggestion may have a lot to do with the perceived "Appleness" of this pie.

just a note on this Recipe, the original recipe calls for 36 ritz crackers, this could explain the watery problem with the pie, also it is very important to make sure (water sugar and tarter) comes to a full rolling boil (do not add crackers to this mixure as stated but break them into the pie shell.)let water mixture simmer for 15 minutes after full boil. Then cool completly before adding the mixture to the crackers in the crust. Then finish as the rest of the recipe states. Hope this helps you, if you ever want to try it again. When it's made correctly it's a really good pie!

i LOVE apple pie. so when i saw this recipe i thought it was interesting. and when i decided 2 make it I did not like the recipe.

I just wanted to point out to those who wondered why you'd make a mock apple pie WHY they were originally made. Pioneers invented it when supplis of fresh apples were scarce. I've also heard it was popular in the Depression when fresh fruit may have been to expensive for some. Maybe not the ideal apple pie but it has some very interesting history.

I thought this was good. Mine had the consistency of applesauce which was interesting, I wasn't sure what to expect with this. My husband who hates all fruit pies said he liked it.

if i could rate this a zero I would, I it waterry, evrn when there's no water in it! Stick to the real apple pie, this will just turn you away from pie, all pies

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I had try and make this to see if it really tasted like apple pie. And guess what it does I did increase the crackers to 36 so it had a very good sturdy filling. Anyway who would have thought that crackers would make a great pie thanks.

Very Good, Specially since my sister is in a class who hae people ALLERGIC TO APPLES! I swear I wanted to hit the people who complained it didn't have apples... Um, DUH! Anyway all of the class LOVED it so thankyou very much. (I added a bit of carmel though)

This was surprisingly delicious!!! It tasted like applesauce pie (The crackers didn't hold up as well as I had hoped) Everyone who tried it was surprised it was Ritz crackers and were quite impressed. I will definitely be making this again, though I was given the suggestion to use just one apple, sliced up and put on the top of the cracker mixture to help give it the shape and crunch of an apple pie.

This was really good although I almost didn't even try it. It's the name of the recipe that makes a person not want to try to make it. I don't think the word chemical should ever be in a recipe name unless it's a halloween recipe.

This also makes a great science experiment!! :)

This is a fun recipe for April Fools day! Fun and quick! I like this one! Just add some more crackers! This recipe was a bit too watered down!

My cousin made this years and years ago, but we always called it "Mock Apple Pie". I love it! It is absolutely delicious! I am so glad I found this recipe.

i loved this recepie i thought it was easy and when i had the whole family together they all loved it and wanted seconds thanks it was a hit

I just love this recipe, we had a potluck at work and after everyone ranted about how delicious my apple pie and apple tarts were, they would not believe me after I told them there were NO Apples. I am making it again to see if my boys can tell. I know they won't. Yummy
