"CUCUMBER APPLE CRAISIN PIE" (NANCYS NEW RECIPE)

Steps:

• 1. Peel cucumbers, and cut in half length wise.
• 2. Seed cucumbers, and slice like for apple pie
• 3. Cut up prepared apple, for a pie add to bowl of cut up cucumbers.
• 4. Add 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
• 5. Remove from stove add spices sugar, cinnamon, cloves, salt, cardamom, nutmeg butter and flour. Mix.
• 6. Add 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.
• 7. This 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!
• 8. I 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
• 9. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Half way baked put a aluminum collar around the pie crust edges..so's they don't burn.
• 10. Slice and enjoy! Whipped cream on your slice would put this recipe over the top!
• 11. This foto was going to be the main picture. Instead after I cut the pie slice... I knew that had to be the main picture.
