She has a vegetable garden and frequently has more zucchini than she knows what to do with them. I've never had the Ritz cracker mock apple pie, but the zucchini version is reasonably convincing.

Andy Griffith was still pitching them —"mmm mmm. Everything's better when it sits on a Ritz."). My mom made it. Getting us to eat it was the trick. It tasted like mealy apples.
