Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Crumble the round buttery crackers into rough pieces (each cracker into 3-4 pieces) and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cream of tartar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it gently into the dish.
Spread the crumbled crackers evenly over the pie crust.
Pour the prepared syrup mixture evenly over the crackers until they are fully coated.
Place the second pie crust over the top, pressing and crimping the edges to seal.
Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes.
Slice the pie and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the perfect mock apple pie a la mode experience.
