Laurie, we used to call that Ritz apple pie a Mock Apple Pie. The recipe was on the cracker box for years. Once someone brought one to a covered-dish supper I attended and I couldn't tell it wasn't an apple pie, at least from the taste.

Donna, I'd love to visit Schimpff's Confectionary in Jeffersonville, Indiana! Sounds amazing! There used to be a candy shop in Baltimore that my boss would stop at after meetings up there. One thing I loved buying were the candy fruit slices. They're still one of my all-time favorites; they're beautiful to look at as well as delicious.
