Apple Pie #1
"To answer the reviewer who questioned the lack of apples, I believe this is what is called "Mock Apple Pie." That is, it tastes like apple pie but uses no apples. My grandmother makes something like this. That said, this is not my recipe. It is an adopted recipe that I have asked be removed from my account, along with all other adoptees. Most were removed, but a couple were apparently missed."

I haven't tried making this particular recipe (Apple Pie #1), so I don't know how it tastes nor how easy/difficult it is to make. But it seemed rather odd to me that an apple pie recipe doesn't include any apples. I don't know if apples were inadvertently omitted from the list of ingredients, or whether the combination of other ingredients (Ritz Crackers?) gives it an apple taste which thereby makes it unnecessary to include apples altogether as a primary ingredient. Without a written comment from the cook (who posted this recipe) to explain why apples are not included, it's difficult to know which is the case. But I'm inclinced to avoid this recipe for that reason (especially since there is a plethora of simarilar recipes).
