blog postings for crackers

It’s the 75th anniversary of one of our favorite crackers—Ritz. What could be better than these buttery morsels?  (Except their Ritz Bits Cheese Sandwiches, which I think are no longer available—drats.) I remember being intrigued by the Mock Apple Pie recipe on the box and wondering what it tasted like and how crackers could ever possibly resemble apples? Guess what, after 30 years of suspense, I finally got an answer, and yes, it does taste like apple pie. We tried in our test kitchen and were really surprised (and totally mystified to be quite honest) how crackers, sugar lemon juice and butter can transform into something that taste like apple pie. Now, it’s not the best apple pie we’ve ever had, not by a stretch, but if you find yourself without apples (and with Ritz crackers) and had a hankering for apple pie, it would suffice. Anybody else tried it or have a story? If so, please share.
