This Mock Apple Pie uses Ritz crackers instead of apples, and somehow it actually tastes like the real thing. It's an old Depression-era trick that's been fooling people for almost a century, and your family won't believe there's not a single apple in it. Bake it up and watch their faces when you spill the secret!
