Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line an 8-inch pie pan with one of the store bought pastry dough and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon zest, apples, and tomatoes cut into half moons and seeds removed. Toss well to coat the ingredients. Add the lemon juice to prevent discoloration of the apples. Mound the apple, tomato mixture into the pie dough, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot with the butter.

Serve warm with ice cream or just alone.
