I don't know how they will figure this out, but I am going to give it a try. Mom was diabetic and came up with this. You can make it large or small. Amounts are up to you. Large family, go for it. Live alone, make it little.

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:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Use an apple with different level of tartness, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Add some spices to your filling. This will help to enhance the flavor of the apples. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust from the store. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using it.
- Crimp the edges of your pie crust to seal it. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out. You can use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges.
- Bake your pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will usually take about 45 minutes. Be sure to check on your pie regularly as the crust can burn if over-baked.
Conclusion:
Mock apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that everyone will enjoy. It's a great way to use up leftover apples, and it's also a fun project to do with kids. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give mock apple pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
