Vinegar Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• Pie Crust:
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• Filling:
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) water
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust:
   • Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.
   • Crimp the edges as desired and set aside.
3. Make the Filling:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
   • Stir in the apple cider vinegar and water, mixing until smooth.
   • Add the butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
   • Reduce the heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually stir in the beaten eggs, making sure to mix quickly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
   • Return the saucepan to the heat and cook for another 2 minutes while stirring.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Assemble the Pie:
   • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
   • Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake the Pie:
   • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
   • This pie is delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

• Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar gives a subtle fruity flavor, but white vinegar can be used as a substitute.
• Spices: Adjust the spices to taste; some versions also include a pinch of cloves for added depth.
