Description

In this green tomato mock mincemeat pie recipe, green tomatoes, tart green apples, brown sugar, raisins, and warm spices unite to create a holiday pie.

Ingredients

2 cups chopped green tomato
2 cups peeled and chopped tart green apples
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped raisins
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie

Directions

1 Combine tomatoes, apples, brown sugar, raisins, vinegar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until bubbling and slightly reduced in volume, about 25 minutes. Cool filling slightly, about 15 minutes.
2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
3 Pour filling into pie crust; top with remaining pie crust. Crimp crust edges together to seal.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); continue baking until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes more.
