Last weekend during our visit to Grandma Jackson's house we got on the subject of recipes, more importantly recipes that are out of the norm and something you wouldn't normally think of. We talked about everything from mayonnaise chocolate cakes to peanut butter fudge with Velveeta cheese. The one recipe though that really caught my attention was an apple pie...with no apples in it. Now, really that just didn't seem possible. Being a fan of apple pie I knew exactly what I needed to do. As soon as I got home I signed on to the Internet and began my Google search. And there it was right before my very eyes...a recipe for apple pie using no apples.
Pastry for two-crust 9-inch pie
36 RITZ Crackers, coarsely broken (about 1 3/4 cups crumbs)
1 3/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Grated peel of one lemon
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Roll out half the pastry and line a 9-inch pie plate. Place cracker crumbs in prepared crust; set aside.
2. Heat water, sugar and cream of tartar to a boil in saucepan over high heat; simmer for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and peel; cool.
3. Pour syrup over cracker crumbs. Dot with margarine or butter; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie. Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake at 425 F for 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is crisp and golden. Cool completely.
I have not yet had a chance to give this a try but will be doing so next weekend. I'm make sure to let you all know the outcome though.
Peace Out...Cub Scout!!!
