Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups green tomatoes
- 2 cups apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 recipe double-crust pie dough
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare your double-crust pie dough by rolling out one portion to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green tomatoes, apples, raisins, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well until evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second portion of pie dough and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.
