2 pie crusts (either your own recipe, Most Incredible No Fail Pie Crust, or store bought)
3 cups green tomatoes, sliced
1 large apple, peeled and diced (Granny Smith apple preferred, but any good baking apples will do)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Toss tomatoes and apples in a large bowl with lemon juice.
Add sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
Put one pie crust in 9" pie pan.
Spread ½ of the mixture into the pie crust and dot with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Spread the other ½ of the mixture on top and dot with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cover with the top crust and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork.
Cut slits in the top of the crust for steam to escape.
Bake at 425º F for 15 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 350º F and cook for another 45 minutes.
In the last 15 minutes of baking time, sprinkle pie crust with 1 teaspoon sugar.
Cool slightly before serving.
