Today we have so many apple recipes; not just for pies but every other type of dessert recipe. The first recipe is one of the easy apple pie recipes. It has no crust and is quick to put together.

The following apple pie recipe is actually a “mock apple pie”. I first heard about this pie recipe in the 1960’s when young people did not have a lot of money to buy extras like apples. I understand it is a very old recipe and was originally made with crackers like the saltines; maybe even homemade crackers. The makers of Ritz crackers revised the recipe for their product and it became known as the Ritz Cracker Pie. It is very good and most people say they cannot tell it does not have apples in it. Try it and see what you think!
