MOCK APPLE PIE (NO APPLES) RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar and cream of tarter; slowly whisk in the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat to medium/medium-low and simmer (slightly bubbling) for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove syrup from heat and whisk in lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice; set aside to cool. (I set the pot of syrup in a sink of ice and water until cool, stirring frequently.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, place the broken crackers in the unbaked pie crust; then carefully, pour the cool syrup over the crackers. Dot top of pie with small cubes of butter, then sprinkle with apple pie spice. Bake for 20 minutes. While pie is baking, mix together all the Crumb Topping ingredients until crumbly. After pie has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from oven and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Return to oven and continue baking another 15 to 20 minutes, until pie is set and golden brown. (If browning too fast, tent the pie with foil or reduce oven temp to 375°.) Cool pie on wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled with vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip.

NO PIE APPLE PIE

Steps:

• For the apple pie spice: Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom if using in a small bowl.
• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the apple halves core-side down on a flat surface. Before slicing, place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of them to make sure you don't cut all the way through. Slice almost all the way to the bottom of each apple half at 1/4-inch intervals, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice and the orange juice in a pitcher. Drizzle over the apples, making sure they are well coated and the drizzle goes into the slits. Bake until they are just starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the oats, almonds, salt, remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, orange zest and remaining apple pie spice. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, making sure to get some between the slices without breaking the apples. Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden, another 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey and serve with ice cream.
