Roll out half the pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Place crackers in prepared crust. In saucepan, over high heat, heat water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and rind; cool. Pour syrup over crackers. Dot with margarine; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie. Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 F for 30-35 minutes or until crust is crisp and golden. Cool completely. The History of RITZ Mock Apple Pie: Food historians believe that the concept of mock apple pie was developed by the pioneers during the nineteenth century. Constant travel did not allow for proper food storage conditions, and apples were not always available. With a little improvisation, these pioneers created an apple pie-like dessert out of crackers, sugar, and spice. It wasn?t until the Depression years that we saw the emergence of this unique recipe on RITZ Cracker boxes. At the time of RITZ Mock Apple Pie?s development, apples were once again scarce and very expensive. Thanks to NABISCO, families across the United States could once again enjoy and afford the luxury of Apple Pie. 1997 Nabisco Posted to EAT-L Digest 18 Feb 97 by Martha Sheppard on Feb 19, 1997.
