After seeing it, and finding out how it works and gives the apple flavor I decided to make it and see what it was like and report on it.

Honestly, not too difficult to make. I'd recommend finding a good quality pie crust that you can use. None of the ones at my grocery store are any good, all...three brands just suck. Including the pillsbury pie crust, store brand crust, and whatever the more expensive third brand is.

If you can't find one, making your own is best.

Here's one I recommend, but we're making fake apple pie, so I went with fake store brand crappy crust.


Out of the oven with no egg wash, and...

Into my belly.

What I think of it? The crust is garbage, please buy good crust.
Does it taste like apple pie..a little? I think this post is spot on.

Apple pie is so sweet most people dont realize theres almost no apple flavor, its texture and sweetness that you like.
It's pretty sweet and has the texture of mashed apple pie. You have some sourness which you get from the lemon juice and cream of tartar as well. Texture is gelatinous, you really don't taste any ritz crackers at all. I'd say this tastes pretty familiar to those apple pie fillings in those cheap pie dessert fillings.

Something like that.

It's alright, solid thing, I'll probably finish the whole thing. I wouldn't mind using this as a filler to make some copycat fig newtons or those grain pocket bars. For something that came out of the depression era, this recipe isn't too shabby really.

I'd recommend making it just to experience it.

Also I bought some "extra creamy" cool whip to go with it as suggested by the recipe, it tastes good at first, but it leaves you with a chalky after taste? Do not recommend extra creamy cool whip.

Does not taste like dog food too, bonus points there.

Guess I should mention that this could possibly trick some people into thinking it was apple pie. Especially people used to eating apple pie filling from those aforementioned desserts.

TL;DR: Alright, give it a shot, not too hard to make. No fake crust or cool whip. No ritz cracker taste at all.
