MOCK APPLE PIE (NO APPLES) RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mock Apple Pie (no apples) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUMB TOPPING:
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I used 1/2 teaspoon more)
2 1/2 cups roughly broken Ritz crackers (I used R.F.)
1 (9-inch) pastry pie crust, unbaked (I used frozen)
1 tablespoon salted butter
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
Pinch of salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar and cream of tarter; slowly whisk in the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat to medium/medium-low and simmer (slightly bubbling) for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove syrup from heat and whisk in lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice; set aside to cool. (I set the pot of syrup in a sink of ice and water until cool, stirring frequently.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, place the broken crackers in the unbaked pie crust; then carefully, pour the cool syrup over the crackers. Dot top of pie with small cubes of butter, then sprinkle with apple pie spice. Bake for 20 minutes. While pie is baking, mix together all the Crumb Topping ingredients until crumbly. After pie has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from oven and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Return to oven and continue baking another 15 to 20 minutes, until pie is set and golden brown. (If browning too fast, tent the pie with foil or reduce oven temp to 375°.) Cool pie on wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled with vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip.

MOCK APPLE PIE



Mock Apple Pie image

This Mock Apple Pie is actually quite delicious! After reviewing many recipes for mock apple pie, I came up with this recipe. To enhance the flavor of the pie, I also added a no-sugar apple juice, plus I used Keebler's "Original" Town House Crackers instead of Ritz Crackers. In all this is a very yummy tasting pie!

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablesp. cornstarch
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1-1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1-1/3 cups (1-10 oz. bottle) no sugar added apple juice (l used walmart's great value brand of apple juice)
2/3 cup water
2 tablesp. lemon juice (l used bottled lemon juice)
1 (15 oz.) box (2 ready to bake pie crusts) for 9-inch pie
1 tsp. all-purpose flour
50 keebler "original" town house crackers
2 tablesp. butter, sliced into pieces

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl mix together, the sugar, cornstarch, cream of tartar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set this aside.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, add the apple juice and water. Bring juice and water to a full rolling boil, over medium to medium high heat; stirring the pan occasionally.
  • 3. Once the juice and water has come to a rolling boil, gradually stir in the sugar mixture. Then reduce the heat to a low simmer, and continue cooking the mixture for 15 minutes; stirring the pan frequently.
  • 4. After the 15 minutes of cooking time, remove the pan from the heat, and set this aside to cool, for 35 minutes. Now add the lemon juice to the pan, and stir.
  • 5. Unroll one of the pie crusts, and sprinkle the teaspoon of flour over one side of the crust. Place the flour side crust down into the pan. (This will prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.)
  • 6. Coarsley crush all the crackers into the pie crust.
  • 7. Using a large spoon, gradually pour the juice/sweetened sugar mixture over the cracker crumbs; then dot the pie with pieces of butter ( the 2 tablespoons).
  • 8. Unroll the remaining pie crust, and place it over the pan. Seal and flute the edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape. (Instead of making slits ontop the pie, I used a small cookie cutter, a 1-1/2 inch gingerbread cookie cutter, to cut and decorate the top pie crust. I did this after I unrolled the 2nd pie crust, and before placing it over the pie to seal and flute the edges.)
  • 9. Sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar over the pie.
  • 10. Bake pie in a preheated 425 degree oven for 30 minutes. (I did place a pie crust shield ontop the pie before placing it in the oven, but only for the first 15 minutes of baking time.)
  • 11. After removing baked pie from the oven, let it sit too cool slightly, before slicing. This pie does taste best if served warm.
  • 12. Note: Refrigerate any remaining slices. I reheated the remaining slices (each slice separately) in an 850 watt microwave oven for 3 minutes on power level 4.
