Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll out the premade pie crust then place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Tuck the crust into the ledge of the pan and crimp the edges in whatever design you like.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the paper and weights and continue baking for 5 more minutes.
- While the pie crust baked, whisk to combine the butter, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vinegar, water, vanilla, and cinnamon, in a large bowl.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake the pie for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and only jiggles slightly when moved.
- Allow the pie to cool for 15 minutes and serve warm, or let pie cool completely and transfer to the fridge for 2 hours to serve chilled. Dust pie with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
Storing: To store vinegar pie, cover it with plastic wrap or foil to keep in the flavor and moisture. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Spices: Traditionally no nutmeg or cinnamon were added to vinegar pie, but I find just a little pinch of either one adds a lot more depth of flavor. You can feel free to skip it if you prefer a more traditional version.
Granulated Sugar: I like to use half granulated sugar and half brown sugar to give the pie more flavor. You can choose to use all granulated sugar instead.
Garnishing: Instead of powdered sugar, you can also garnish it with a dollop of whipped cream.
