"cucumber apple craisin pie" (nancys new recipe)
(1)
I had a taste for apple pie, and had only one fresh apple..
But I did have a few cucumbers, from my garden..SO! why not??
Well..I got a peeling and a chopping and made up this recipe.
Actually it turned out real well!
My friends and neighbors liked the "APPLE" pie.
They could not believe it was 90% cucumbers...LOL
I had to show them the pictures I toke along the way, while baking!
YES! I will bake this recipe again, and again. Two at a time.
I hope you will also.

How To Make "cucumber apple craisin pie" (nancys new recipe)
-
1Peel cucumbers, and cut in
half length wise. -
2Seed cucumbers, and slice like
for apple pie -
3Cut up prepared apple, for a pie
add to bowl of cut up cucumbers. -
4Add drained craisins and lemon juice to bowl.
Mix. Add all to a pot and cook all on
low setting stirring often.. to soften.
Do not scorch -
5Remove from stove add spices sugar, cinnamon, cloves, salt, cardamom, nutmeg butter and flour.
Mix. -
6Add hot mixture in small batched to blender,
or a food processor.
I had to do this next step, because the
cucumber slices did not want to cook up and soften.
So mash it up! with the spices. -
7This then made to much for one pie..
so I added 1 can of apple pie filling.
Mix it in with the mashed cucumbers etc.
This now is enough for two pies! -
8I was going to make one pie with a top crust...
Instead I ended up with 2 pies, sooooo
I used two frozen pie crusts from my freezer.
Added the streusel topping to both pies.
Any streusel topping recipe will do
or your own recipe -
9Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Half way baked put a aluminum collar around
the pie crust edges..so's they don't burn. -
10Slice and enjoy!
Whipped cream on your slice
would put this recipe over the top! -
11This foto was going to be the main picture.
Instead after I cut the pie slice...
I knew that had to be the main picture. - Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
