This was the first time I'd ever tasted green tomato pie, and was quite happy with the result. It wasn't perfect, but with a few tweaks next time, it should be! I used very green tomatoes (no red/orange), and should have cut them a little smaller, since they remained slightly crunchy. Next time I will also let the tomatoes strain in a colandar to remove more of the liquid prior to cooking. The pie was a bit watery when it came out of the oven, but it jelled into a heavy syrup when it cooled. The flavor was good; much like apple pie as noted. Next time I will use more cinnamon and omit the other spices. I prefer just cinnamon in apple pie, so likely will prefer it alone in green tomato pie.

What a great thing to do with all those green tomatos at the end of the season. I peeled and deseeded the tomatoes and cut them up fairly fine. I also used the mature green tomatos as one person recommented. I did add a good 1/2 cup flour because others said to do that. Next time I will cut the tomatoes even finer. I think a food processor would work. The flavor was perfect. I also cut the sugar back to a strong 1 cup. I will make again every fall.

My husband and I both liked this, but would prefer apples. It was a good way of using the green apples at the end of the season. I also added a little more flour as suggested and had to cook it 40 minutes longer.

Very good recipe. I had to cook mine for 1 hour, and added extra flour as suggested and it came out with the same consistency as apple pie - really. There is an unusual aftertaste, so just don't expect it to taste just like apple pie. Also, I don't know if I needed to, but I peeled the tomatoes.

Tried this pie for a church social. A man in his seventies said it reminded him of the green tomato pie his mother made when he was a child. It really does taste like apple pie. As recommended by others, I did bake it a little longer than the stated time.

Good flavor, maybe a bit much on the nutmeg, but my pie came out very runny. I had upped the flour like some of the reviewers suggested but it was so wet that even after an hour in the oven the crust was still doughy. I may give it a try again because the flavor was really really good, but next time I'll par bake the bottom crust AND try the tapioca another reveiwer suggested.

The pie is very good although mine was very runny. Next time I will either add more flour or some cornstarch for thickening. I also baked mine according to how I bake most other fruit pies which is at 400 for 30 mins rotate the pie 180 and bake at 375 for another 30 mins. I also added a bit of ginger to the spice mixture.

I loved this my new halloween recipe. I was a little iffy at first but I wanted to try something new and so glad I did. I microwaved the piece of pie for about 20 seconds and added vanilla ice cream. YUMMMY Thanks for sharing your recipe. It was AWESOME. It has the texture of apples. TRUELY AWESOME

I loved this!! I read the other reviews and so I added a little more flour. But I think the trick is the ripeness of the tomatoes. They need to be "mature" green tomatoes.

Wow! It really does taste like apple pie. I actually peeled the tomatoes (a knife worked easier than a veggie peeler for me) since that's what I do with apples. I upped the flour to about 1/3 cup and ended up baking it for an hour. It came out great- not too runny like some reviews said.

I had high hopes for this pie as I love the idea of using green tomatoes. Perhaps success is dependent on the size the tomatoes are chopped (mine were 1/2" pieces) or how green they are (mine were pretty green, certainly not close to orange). Anyway, the cooked pie was pieces of green tomato swimming in a watery liquid. They tasted ok, although the spices were overwhelming. They were nothing like apple pie. Hoping to try again with some adjustments.

This was absolutely stunning. I would never imagined that green tomatoes could taste like this. Next time I will use a little less nutmeg, maybe half, but other than that, it was an incredible pie. My guests will never guess that it could come from green tomatoes. This will become a fall tradition in our home.

I made this pie and followed the recipe to the letter. The taste of spices was far too strong, the filling was runny and I was very disappointed with the end result.

This is delicious. The applecider vinegar gives it just the right amount of tartness. Some people may find it too sweet served hot and will prefer it chilled. I loved it both ways.
