This promo recipe from Ritz – Nabisco Kitchens was clipped from cardboard packaging of some kind, likely a box of Ritz Crackers since it’s a required ingredient. Date unknown. I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

This was on all the Ritz boxes when I was growing up. I never made it, but I remember in high school my girlfriend did. It was good, and shockingly did taste like apple pie. Why you would not want to use apples I don’t know, but it was good.
I would rather have real nothing than Mock Apple Pie.
This recipe is very good and tastes just like an apple pie; however, when I made it in the 60’s and 70’s I substituted applesauce for 1/2 c. water and that really made it taste like real apple pie. The pie is great without the applesauce. Lost my recipe, so happy to have found it here. Thanks for posting it.
The Mock Apple Pie is fun and tastes great! Live dangerously once in your life. And this won’t harm you
if you don’t have it often.
When my husband I didn’t much and lived on a budget. So we found this recipe and made it. We were so excited about it and my husband/ I loved it. My daughter called me today and was so excited about the recipe with the Ritz Crackers and said Mom you’ve got to make it . Her 9 year old gran daughter was thrilled and amazed at the pie made with Ritz cracker as she was helping to bake the pie. Strange how history repeats itself. So tomorrow I will bake my Apple pie with the Ritz cracker and I am sure I will love it once more. I just wish my husband could enjoy it too. He passed away 22 months ago. We were married for 63 wonderful years. Thank you for still having tand sharing your recipe. Celina Parins
