The 'apples' in this pie are Ritz crackers. They're arranged in the bottom of a pie shell, and topped with a lemony sweet syrup. The top crust is popped on and the pie baked until golden.

The Ritz cracker mock apple pie originated as a classic back-of-the-box recipe. Lemon juice and cinnamon give the faux fruit pie its surprising fall flavor.
