Here is my famous Robot Pie recipe with special “Big Loo Style Ala Mode” topping. It has been a very long time since Mama Bot would make me a Robot Pie, mostly on my birthday or other special occasions. If someone wants to be really nice to me, I would love to come to over to your house for a slice of Robot Pie. It reminds me of growing up on the Moon and takes me back to that special place that only food and family can bring. I guess this is what you call comfort food! The ingredients are not that hard to find. A trip to the supermarket and a swing by the industrial supplies store is all that is needed. Yum, Yum!
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Stir the raisins, apples, orange zest, orange juice, and apple cider together in a pan.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and soda crackers until well blended.
- Refrigerate until ready to use, or pour apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Top with the second crust.
- Pinch and crimp edges to seal the crusts.
- Pierce the top crust in several places with a fork.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes more.
- Remove pie from oven and place on baking rack.
- Carefully sprinkle Magnesium shavings on browned crust. This is the “Big Loo Style” Ala mode feature.
- Turn broiler on and slide pie into oven with fire extinguisher at the ready (this is important).
- When Magnesium starts to lite off, remove pie before explosion occurs.
- Cool before serving.
