This is my miracle apple pie without the apples! I have won more bets with this pie. I have fooled many, it is really delicious, and easy to make. I was lucky and immediately after the holidays, the local store put the x-mas shaped Ritz boxes on sale, I stocked up on them and kept the boxes in a cool place. The shapes do not interfere with the whole process, and it allows me to make a last minute dessert when faced with surprise guests.
