Every Fall I make green tomato mincemeat which tastes like regular mincemeat although it contains no meat or suet. Since I am the only one who eats it in my family, every once in a while I quietly add it to our apple pies (two thirds apple filling and one third mincemeat) and I call it "spicy apple pie" (if I use the word mincemeat everyone runs). It is great and everyone loves it. Another variation is to add sour cherries to the apples as I make the filling and cut back on the spices. It is a nice combination.
