This green tomato pie is a delightful twist on traditional fruit pies. The tangy green tomatoes combined with sugar and warm spices create a flavorful filling that pairs perfectly with a crispy pie crust. Whether you have an abundance of green tomatoes from your garden or are simply looking to try something new, this pie is sure to impress!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups green tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 double crust pie crust

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine green tomatoes, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to coat the tomatoes.
  3. Line a pie dish with one of the pie crusts. Pour the tomato mixture into the crust and dot with butter.
  4. Cover the filling with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  6. Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy!
