Star apple pie

Ingredients

• 1 quart sliced ripe star apples (carambolas)
• 1 cup light brown sugar (if on a diet, 1 cup sucralose and 1 teaspoon molasses)
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup quick cooking tapioca
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• Cinnamon to taste
• Pastry dough for two pie crusts (top and bottom of one pie)

Directions

• Slice the fruit latitudinally into quarter-inch star-shaped slices
• Combine tapioca, lime juice and sugar (or sucralose mix) and lightly mix with sliced fruit
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with pie crust
• Spread the fruit mix over the pastry
• Dot with small pieces of butter
• Sprinkle with cinnamon
• Roll the top pie crust large enough to make a seal, cover and seal the pie
• Slit the top of the crust to let the steam escape
• Pre-heat oven to 425°F
• Bake for about 35 minutes until pastry is golden brown

Option: use ground nutmeg instead of cinnamon
