Ingredients for - Green Tomato Pie
How to cook deliciously - Green Tomato Pie
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add the thinly sliced green tomatoes and the cider vinegar to the bowl. Toss the tomatoes in the ingredients until they're coated.
2. Stage
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the pie crust into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick. Move the circle to the pie plate, press it into place and trim the overhang to 1/2-inch beyond the edge of the plate.
3. Stage
Pour the tomato filling into the pie shell and dot the top with butter. Roll out the rest of the pie dough into a 1/8-inch-thick circle; cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Weave the strips into a lattice on top of the pie filling. Trim and seal the strips to the edge of the bottom crust, then flute the edge all around. Editor's Tip: Don't fear the lattice pie! Avoid cutting the strips too thin, especially if you're a beginner (that will mean more weaving!). Lay the first strips on top of the pie, then fold back every other strip, lay down a new strip perpendicular and repeat.
4. Stage
Slide the pie into the oven and bake the pie until the tomatoes are tender, about one hour. Move the pie to a wire cooling rack; cool it to room temperature before slicing and serving. Editor's Tip: Protect the bottom of your oven! Place a baking sheet on the oven rack below your pie to catch drips from the filling and crust.
