Vinegar pie. I can't and don't want to imagine living in a time when desserts are scarce.
Our resourceful forebears came up with lots of interesting pies when the going got tough, including chess pie, buttermilk pie, and vinegar pie. I made and reviewed this recipe for Taste of Home (with some tweaks, because I just can't help myself). Check out my review here!
The recipe with my modifications is below.
Vinegar! Pie
(printable recipe)
Serves 8
Ingredients:
Line a 9" pie pan (not deep dish) with your pastry, then line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with beans or other weights. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Carefully remove lining and weights and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom of the pie crust looks dry and golden brown.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted oil, vinegar, and vanilla bean paste; mix well.
Pour into the baked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F and the topping is browned and the filling is only slightly jiggly.

Golden crust and that gooey filling have me drool terribly!
Wow, I have never heard of vinegar pie! I am going to have to try this out, thanks for the inspo xxx
I love it when you post the old fashioned pies! I have taken to reducing recipes and baking in a 6 inch pie pan which allows me to justify doing pies more often!
I love chess pie, and I'm going to have to try vinegar pie some time, when I feel like baking. These old fashioned pies are classics for a good reason.
I've never heard of vinegar pie but now I'm craving a slice!
I've never had vinegar pie before. I am intrigued and drooling!
I love vinegar pie and all old-fashioned pies like this! Looks delicious!
This sounds great, I've not tried anything similar so I'm really curious what it would taste like!
Some of the most endearing and best tasting dishes come out of scarcity. You have to use what little you have and make it into something fabulous. This pie exemplifies that age-old challenge.
Interesting! I've never heard of it before, but I would be more than happy to try it.
I've never heard of vinegar pie! My husband isn't enthused haha

Looks Yummy and Delicious. Can't wait to try it.
