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!! :)

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

How To Make apple tomato pie

  • Step 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.
  • Step 2
    Thinly slice up apples. In large bowl blend together sugars, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Add tomatoes and apples, toss gently to mix.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 4
    Bake until tomatoes and apples are soft and crust is lightly browned. Bake 50 to 60 minutes at 400 F.
  • Step 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
  • Step 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.
