GREEN TOMATO AND APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line an 8-inch pie pan with one of the store bought pastry dough and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon zest, apples, and tomatoes cut into half moons and seeds removed. Toss well to coat the ingredients. Add the lemon juice to prevent discoloration of the apples. Mound the apple, tomato mixture into the pie dough, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot with the butter. Add the second pastry dough on top and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top of the pastry with the milk and sprinkle the toasted fennel and ground cardamom on top. Bake the pie for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, and then turn the heat down to 350 degrees. Bake for another 35 minutes, until the crust is golden. Let cool on a rack. Serve warm with ice cream or just alone.

MOM'S HARVEST APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, orange zest, cranberries, raisins, walnuts, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. Roll out the bottom dough and place it into a 9-inch pan, leaving 1-inch of pie dough hanging over. Pour the pie filling into the crust. Roll out the top dough and cut it with a scalloped pastry wheel into 15 strips. Gently twist the strips 2 or 3 times, beginning with the longest ones, and place them on top of the pie, working outward and in various angles. Gently fold the bottom crust up over the edge of the pie and flute the edges with your fingertips. With a pastry brush, gently brush the half-and-half over the entire top crust and edges and then sprinkle generously with sugar.
• Bake until apples are cooked, about 45 to 50 minutes. (You can check the apples with a fork to make sure they are tender). Remove to a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
