Anyone remember this mystery pie from the 80s? No one will guess the real mystery ingredient. Wasn't there also a Mock Apple Pie made with Ritz crackers???

Love this pie - they used to serve it at Wyatt's Cafeterias back in the day - out of business now. The first recipe we had for this particular pie called for Ritz crackers instead of saltines...was called Ritzy Pecan Pie...delicious by any name! And...more
