I'm surprised this isn't posted. It's a "Dear Abby" favorite from 1959. Surprisingly good, and like she says, don't tell anyone there aren't apples until AFTER they eat it!!!

My aunt used to make this and I laughed at her when she told me what she was making it out of. Surprise. It really does taste like apple pie.

I've heard of this with Ritz crackers too. Isn't it grainy tasting or weird? What's the texture like?
