I'm allergic to fruit...FRUIT! Mock Apple Pie / In honor of Raising Hope

I make this every time we watch a new episode of Raising Hope. It makes for a great viewing party!

Jimmy's Pie (I'm allergic to fruit....FRUIT! Mock Apple Pie

1 Box of ready made pie crust (you'll need both sheets)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, slightly broken
1 3/4 cups of water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

According to package directions, roll one pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Set the other aside. Put cracker pieces in the bottom of the pie crust, sit aside.

In heavy sauce pan, add water, sugar, and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Let cool.

Pour cooled mixture over crackers, dot with margarine and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put the other crust on top, crimp the edges to seal and put a few small slits in the top so the steam can escape. Bake about 25 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Enjoy!
