Directions:
Peel the plantains. Put them in a saucepan, cover
them with water, and boil until very tender, about 15
minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Stir in 1/2 c
sugar and the nutmeg, vanilla and a drop or 2 of red
food coloring (opt).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, Roll out pie dough and
cut into 8 circles that are 4-5 inches across (use a
saucer or small plate as a guide). Divide the plantain
mixture among the 8 dough circles, placing it on side
and leaving a 1/2 inch border. Fold the other half of
the circle over the filling to form a crescent shape.
Crimp the edges with a fork to seal well. Sprinkle
with sugar. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for
30-45 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on wire
racks, and serve warm or cold.
