Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (12-inch) frozen pie crusts, defrosted
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 cups peeled, cored, halved (half moon shaped), and thinly sliced tart apples
2 cups thinly sliced, halved (half moon shaped), green tomatoes, with any large seeds removed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 tablespoon milk, to brush crust
1 tablespoon toasted fennel
1 tablespoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line an 8-inch pie pan with one of the store bought pastry dough and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon zest, apples, and tomatoes cut into half moons and seeds removed. Toss well to coat the ingredients. Add the lemon juice to prevent discoloration of the apples. Mound the apple, tomato mixture into the pie dough, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot with the butter. Add the second pastry dough on top and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top of the pastry with the milk and sprinkle the toasted fennel and ground cardamom on top. Bake the pie for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, and then turn the heat down to 350 degrees. Bake for another 35 minutes, until the crust is golden. Let cool on a rack. Serve warm with ice cream or just alone.

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca and the zest of 1 lemon. Cut 2 pounds green tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices; dip completely in the sugar mixture, then arrange in pie shell, adding 1/2 cup golden raisins as you layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
  • Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
  • Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
  • How to Make a Pie
  • Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
  • Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling.
  • Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

GREEN TOMATO MOCK MINCEMEAT PIE



Green Tomato Mock Mincemeat Pie image

This recipe is 'The Holidays' for me. I remember the smell filling the house 60 years ago when my mom was cooking it. At the end of the tomato season, when the remaining tomatoes in the garden will not ripen, this is a great use for them. A note from my mother: I put a heaping teaspoon of tapioca on the bottom crust before I fill it. It will absorb some of the liquid.

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples and tomatoes. This will help to prevent them from bruising.
