This post jogged a memory of a recipe on the back of a Ritz cracker box, way back in the 60’s. It was a mock apple pie recipe using Ritz crackers in place of apple. I was a young teen cook and tried it. I remember only making it once but it was remarkably apple pie like.

I recently came across this said recipe in a newspaper and clipped it. Now we have organic whole wheat Ritz to try it with. I think I’ll dig it out and give it a go, for old time sake.

PS: I read your book last fall and enjoyed the whole journey, and have passed it on to friends and family. Thank you. Lee Ann

That mac and cheese looks good. I usually use panko as a topping for my mac and cheese – but I’m going to try this. Guilty pleasure: ritz, peanut butter, and dark chocolate sauce.

I just heard from a guy, who works for a food distributor, that New England is the biggest consumer of Ritz crackers. Apparently, they use it in many seafood stuffings. I don’t think I’ve ever had Ritz seafood stuffing, but will watch for it next time I am up there.

Those oysters look absolutely delicious. When does this cookbook come out?
I know some people make a mock apple pie with Ritz crackers, but I have never tried it. Ritz crackers are very buttery tasting, so I think they’d make a great topping for mac & cheese.

My grandmother famously makes her oyster stuffing with ritz cracker crumbs for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I made it this year when I couldn’t make it home for Thanksgiving. It’s so simple and delicious! It even passed the test of approval by my chef boyfriend who was hesitant of having ritz as an ingredient. I, on the other hand, completely love the buttery goodness like you!
