Don't be sad that tomato season is over—be happy that it's time for green tomato pie! Made with sliced green tomatoes scented with sugar and cinnamon, then baked in a flaky crust, it's a sweet-savory dessert not to miss.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
3 cups thinly sliced green tomatoes (4 to 5 medium)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Dough for double-crust pie
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add tomatoes and vinegar; toss to coat. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling; dot with butter.
Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom crust; flute edge.
Bake until tomatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.

When frost nips our garden, I quickly gather all the green tomatoes still on the vine and make this old family favorite. It's been handed down from my grandmother, and now my granddaughters are asking for the recipe.—Violet Thompson, Port Ludlow, Washington
