Mock apple pie recipe
http://www.copykat.com/2011/11/10/mock-apple-pie/Fool your friends and family with this mock apple pie, it really tastes like apple pie.
Ingredients
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 unbaked pie shells, or 1 package of refrigerated pie crust dough
36 to 40 Ritz crackers
Zest of lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized sauce pan combine water, sugar, and cream of tartar, bring to a boil. Once the syrup begins to boil add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir lemon juice and zest into syrup in the mixture, reduce heat to low, and simmer for approximately 15 minutes, after 15 minutes allow syrup to cool.
Place one pie crust in a pie pan, and then break crackers into the pie pie shell. Pour syrup over the crackers. Sprinkle cinnamon over crackers, and sprinkle over nutmeg over the crackers. Top with pie shell with remaining pie crust. Pinch together crusts and then trim off excess pie shell. Make a couple of slits in the top of the pie so the steam can escape while cooking. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.

or the flag either ! 
What a blast from the past! I haven't eaten or even thought of it for years! It was one of my favorites when I was a kid growing up near Pittsburgh. That and chip-chop ham. 
That takes some crust! Thou shall not cast asparagus at my apple pie!
That place is downright UNCIVIL!
Plus, discusion of mockery seems to be a main theme of GD lately.
