1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons lemon zest
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter

Prepare pie plate with bottom layer of crust.
Mix together the flour, lemon peel, lemon juice, butter, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Stir in the green tomatoes to coat. Pour into crust. Cover with top crust. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
