I've seen that recipe for years on the back of the Ritz cracker box, but I have never tried it!

Try it its SOOO yummy!!:D

bump :)

I have tasted that recipe and it really is GOOD!! Sounds weird though doesn't it?? I would have thought it was a joke:rolleyes:

I have been meaning to get that recipe for YEARS!! Thank you so much for posting it.. Printer is humming now!

I love apple pie so much that this holds no appeal for me. Apples are just sooooo good, why wouldja wanna substitute something else for them?

Unless, of course, I become allergic to apples, too. Currently allergic to pears, bananas, and more ... oh, yeah, including lemon, so this recipe is out for me anyway!

All said, I'll take your word for it.

Havent tired it. but it sounds good to me. :)
