'''Green tomato pie''' is a pie in American cuisine that can be made like other fruit pies by sprinkling sugar, flour, cinnamon and other spices or raisins over sliced tomatoes and pieces of butter, or by cooking the ingredients on the stovetop before baking in a pastry lined dish.<ref></ref> When cinnamon and cloves are added to the filling, the unripe tomatoes are said to resemble tart apples or rhubarb. The pastry for the pie crust is made with bacon drippings.<ref></ref>

Green tomatoes can also be used as an ingredient of "mock mincemeat" pie. Made by cooking green tomatoes with sugar and apples, vinegar, raisins and spices until thickened, this sweet pie is said to be indistinguishable in flavor from traditional [[mincemeat pie]]. Some versions add orange peel, jelly, fruit juice or butter..<ref name=greentomatoes></ref>
