MOCK APPLE PIE SQUARES
No one ever guesses these sweet "apple" slices are made with zucchini. In fact, there isn't a bit of apple in them. What I like about this yummy recipe is that it makes a lot using economical ingredients. -Lynn Hamilton, Naperville, Illinois

MOCK APPLE PIE
This Mock Apple Pie is actually quite delicious! After reviewing many recipes for mock apple pie, I came up with this recipe. To enhance the flavor of the pie, I also added a no-sugar apple juice, plus I used Keebler's "Original" Town House Crackers instead of Ritz Crackers. In all this is a very yummy tasting pie!

Steps:
- 1. In a bowl mix together, the sugar, cornstarch, cream of tartar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set this aside.
- 2. In a large saucepan, add the apple juice and water. Bring juice and water to a full rolling boil, over medium to medium high heat; stirring the pan occasionally.
- 3. Once the juice and water has come to a rolling boil, gradually stir in the sugar mixture. Then reduce the heat to a low simmer, and continue cooking the mixture for 15 minutes; stirring the pan frequently.
- 4. After the 15 minutes of cooking time, remove the pan from the heat, and set this aside to cool, for 35 minutes. Now add the lemon juice to the pan, and stir.
- 5. Unroll one of the pie crusts, and sprinkle the teaspoon of flour over one side of the crust. Place the flour side crust down into the pan. (This will prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.)
- 6. Coarsley crush all the crackers into the pie crust.
- 7. Using a large spoon, gradually pour the juice/sweetened sugar mixture over the cracker crumbs; then dot the pie with pieces of butter ( the 2 tablespoons).
- 8. Unroll the remaining pie crust, and place it over the pan. Seal and flute the edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape. (Instead of making slits ontop the pie, I used a small cookie cutter, a 1-1/2 inch gingerbread cookie cutter, to cut and decorate the top pie crust. I did this after I unrolled the 2nd pie crust, and before placing it over the pie to seal and flute the edges.)
- 9. Sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar over the pie.
- 10. Bake pie in a preheated 425 degree oven for 30 minutes. (I did place a pie crust shield ontop the pie before placing it in the oven, but only for the first 15 minutes of baking time.)
- 11. After removing baked pie from the oven, let it sit too cool slightly, before slicing. This pie does taste best if served warm.
- 12. Note: Refrigerate any remaining slices. I reheated the remaining slices (each slice separately) in an 850 watt microwave oven for 3 minutes on power level 4.

AUNT TOTSY MOCK APPLE PIE
I was very young when my Aunt Totsy introduced me to this pie. She was the baker at the local Kresge's store and wow, could she bake pies. She lived upstairs from us and one day offered me a piece of pie. I ate it and enjoyed it tremendously and thought it was apple. She later told me it was made with Ritz Crackers. I was so...

MOCK APPLE PIE
This is a pie to make when you don't have apples but you have everything else. It is actually pretty good. You can also make it in a bar pan to make slices, just drizzle a little icing over the top. This is a very old recipe of my great grandmother Sullivan who had 15 children... She knew how to feed them and keep them...

MOCK APPLE PIE (NO APPLES) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar and cream of tarter; slowly whisk in the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat to medium/medium-low and simmer (slightly bubbling) for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove syrup from heat and whisk in lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice; set aside to cool. (I set the pot of syrup in a sink of ice and water until cool, stirring frequently.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, place the broken crackers in the unbaked pie crust; then carefully, pour the cool syrup over the crackers. Dot top of pie with small cubes of butter, then sprinkle with apple pie spice. Bake for 20 minutes. While pie is baking, mix together all the Crumb Topping ingredients until crumbly. After pie has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from oven and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Return to oven and continue baking another 15 to 20 minutes, until pie is set and golden brown. (If browning too fast, tent the pie with foil or reduce oven temp to 375°.) Cool pie on wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled with vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip.
Tips:
- For a crispy crust, use a combination of butter and shortening in the pie dough.
- To prevent the pie from becoming soggy, brush the bottom crust with melted butter or sprinkle it with flour before adding the filling.
- If you don't have time to make your own pie dough, you can use a store-bought crust.
- To make the filling, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- For a sweeter filling, add some sugar, brown sugar, or maple syrup.
- To add some spice, add some cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- If you want a thicker filling, add some cornstarch or tapioca starch.
- To make a lattice crust, roll out the dough into a rectangle and cut it into 1-inch wide strips. Weave the strips over and under each other to create a lattice pattern.
- To prevent the pie from burning, place a baking sheet under the pie pan.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
