    Oh the memories. I was going through my Mothers recipes the other day and stumbles across the recipe she used to use. It was a piece of tattered cardboard, cut from the side of a Ritz box from heaven only knows, way back when. This is one of the classics that should never be lost. When I told our sons about it, they looked at me as if I had a third eye. I am going to have to make this very soon for them. Thank you for keeping this recipe alive.

    I just have a really hard time thinking that this could possibly taste like an apple pie! Please tell me it does, malory because then I'll actually make it!

    So glad you posted this - the recipe isn't on the back of the Ritz box anymore, so I thought it was gone forever! Although there's probably a ritz.com or something, now that I think about it.
