Ingredients

• 1 crust pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour, apple cider vinegar, and water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Slowly add the slightly cooled vinegar mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 7

Stir in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Old Fashioned Vinegar Pie! Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
