Special Notes

This old-fashioned vinegar pie is a Depression-era dessert that's surprisingly delicious. The vinegar adds a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness. The pie should be completely cool before slicing to ensure clean cuts. This dessert is perfect for those who enjoy sweet and tart flavors. The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of lemon zest to the filling.
