My version of the classic Ritz Mock Apple pie. No apples - no problem! Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 3/4 cups unsweetened apple juice |
pastry forr 2-crust 9-inch pie |
36 ritz new brown sugar cinnamon crackers = 1 sleeve(coarsely broken) |
zest and 2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon |
2 tablespoons butter of margarine, cut into small pieces |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar and cream of tartar in medium saucepan. Gradually stir in apple juice; simmer on low for 15 minutes.
2. Stir in zest and juice; cool 30 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Roll out half of pastry on lightly floured surface to 11 inch circle; place in 9-inch pie plate.
5. Place cracker crumbs in crust.
6. Pour sugar syrup over crumbs, top with butter and cinnamon.
7. Roll out remaining pastry to 10-inch circle; place over pie. Seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.
8. Place on parchment-covered baking sheet.
9. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool
10. Note - to prevent crust from overbrowning, cover edge with foil near end of baking time, if necessary.
