" WITH A FEW VARIATIONS. I had to toss the pie and I was one disappointed mock apple pie eater! There must have been a mistake in the amount of sugar and water to utilize. NEXT TIME (which will be soon), I will use 3/4 of a cup of sugar not 1-3/4 cups. (Entirely, entirely too sweet.) I also will use 50 crackers and 3/4 of a cup of water. I did sprinkle cinnamon on the crackers and toss them afterward inasmuch cinnamon is a main ingredient in an apple pie. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH HATED TOSSING THAT PIE. I had not enjoyed a mock apple pie in years and was looking forward to it so much."
