I found this in one of my favorite cookbooks a few years ago and really enjoy using it. Its a nice change from the standard Apple Pie with an added flair! The apple and green tomato compliment each other superbly. Enjoy!! :)

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c green tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 c apples, granny smith, thinly sliced
2/3 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1 pkg refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Boil water, then immerse green tomatoes (about 3 minutes)to loosen skin, then submerge in ice water. Remove skin. Slice tomatoes with a bread knife or serrated knife to achieve thin slices easily.
  • 2. Thinly slice up apples. In large bowl blend together sugars, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Add tomatoes and apples, toss gently to mix.
  • 3. Place one of the rollout pie dough in 9-inch pie pan. Add the apple - tomato mixture. Dot filling with butter. Cover with top crust, flute edges and cut vents in top.
  • 4. Bake until tomatoes and apples are soft and crust is lightly browned. Bake 50 to 60 minutes at 400 F.
  • 5. BAKERS TIP: I like to skip submerge green tomatoes in hot water, so I either peel them by hand or not at all. I like to leave the skins on both tomatoes and apples for more fiber and texture! :)Bon Appetit
  • 6. BAKERS TIP: I generally make my own pie crust, but if you are in a pinch for time the store bought pie crusts work well too.
