Sweet greens pie

1 kg collard greens

50 g raisins

50 g sugar

50 g pine nuts

50 g Parmesan

100 g cream cheese?

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

salt

2 eggs

1 Granny Smith

Make the dough, following David Lebovitz's recipe. Soak the raisins in rum or some such. Peel and slice the apple, then microwave it for a few minutes until it's soft. Rinse the greens and remove the stems. Wilt them for 15-20 minutes until totally tender, then chop them quite fine. Coarsely chop the nuts, and add them to the greens, along with everything else. Take a deep 8x11" pan and line it with the pastry. Fill it up and put pastry on top. Bake 30-40 min in the middle of the oven so the top crust doesn't cook ahead of the filling. Dust with powdered sugar and take it on a picnic.
