Sue, I got this off the nostalgia board RITZ Mock Apple Pie Pastry for two-crust 9 inch pie 36 Ritz Crackers, coarsely broken (about 1 3/4 cups crumbs) 2 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tbs. lemon juice Grated rind of one lemon 2 cups water 2 tbs. margarine 2 cups sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon No apples needed Roll out half the pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Place crackers in prepared crust. In saucepan, over high heat, heat water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and rind; cool. Pour syrup over crackers. Dot with margarine; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie. Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 F for 30-35 minutes or until crust is crisp and golden. Cool completely.
