Ingredients

• 4 cups green tomatoes
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 9-inch rounds unbaked pie crust
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the green tomatoes, discarding the stem and any tough parts.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Add the sliced green tomatoes to the sugar and flour mixture. Toss everything together until the tomato slices are evenly coated.

Step 5

Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the tomato mixture and gently fold to combine.

Step 6

Prepare your pie crust by fitting one of the 9-inch rounds into a standard pie pan. Trim any excess dough around the edges.

Step 7

Fill the pie shell with the green tomato mixture, making sure to spread it evenly.

Step 8

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and dot them on top of the filling.

Step 9

Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim the edges and pinch or crimp to seal. Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This helps the filling set.
