Green Tomato Pie

I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". It is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. There were some green tomatoes left in our garden recently. I took a few home with me. I kept thinking I wanted to try making fried green tomatoes. I did find this recipe for Green Tomato Pie on www.allrecipes.com

Ingredients:

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 cups sliced green tomatoes
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:

Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Sprinkle over sliced tomatoes, coating them. Pour into pastry lined dish. Dot with butter or margarine. Cover with second crust, fluting edges. Cut three or four slits in top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

(The taste reminded me somewhat of apple pie)
