This is a recipe for apple pie made without apples. It has all the characteristics of an apple pie with apples. If you didn't know better, you'd think that there really was fruit in it. This is an old chemistry lab experiment to teach the limits of human senses.

Ingredients

  • double-crust pie pastry: 1 pack (14.1 ounce pack, thawed)
  • water: 2 cups
  • ½ cups white sugar: 1 piece
  • ½ teaspoons cream of tartar: 1 piece
  • buttery round crackers: 25 piece
  • ground cinnamon: 0.5 tsp
  • butter: 2 Tbsp
