This green tomato mince pie recipe was my grandmothers. It’s tangy from using unripened tomatoes, saved before the last hard freeze every fall. Make it with your favorite type of apples!

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 cups ground green tomatoes, about 3 lbs tomtoes
  • 6 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced, about 3 lbs
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup raisins

Pie

  • 2 Pre-made or homemade pie crusts (Top and bottom)

Instructions

Filling

  1. Combine tomatoes, apples, vinegars, and spices in a large pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  2. Mix in sugar and raisins and simmer for about 30 more minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. The filling should be thick when done, and will continue to thicken as it cools.
  3. Divide filling into 2 portions, about 3 cups each. Each portion makes 1 – 9 inch pie. Filling not being used should be frozen for later use.

Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Pour 1 portion of filling into a pre-made pie crust and cover with a top crust. Cover the edges of the pie with foil to keep the crust from over cooking. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and Bake 10 more minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Notes

I used a food processor to grind the tomatoes until the consistency of chunky applesauce.
