Old Fashioned Vinegar Pie

By RuthLouise

Ingredients

• 1 quart water (or 3 cups, to shorten boiling time)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 heaping Tablespoons flour
• Pinch of salt
• 3 Tablespoons cold vinegar
• 1 teaspoon maple extract (If you don’t have maple extract vanilla, lemon, or coconut extract will also work)
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Well ahead of time, prepare two pie dishes with a single crust pastry and pre-bake according to recipe instructions. Allow pie shells to fully cool.

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

Meanwhile, combine the eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and vinegar in a mixing bowl and use a whisk to combine.

Pour the filling mixture into the boiling water and continue to boil, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. (6-12 minutes, depending on amount of water.)

When mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon, remove from heat.

Add in the cinnamon and maple extract and stir to combine.

Pour mixture through a sieve into each pie crust to prevent any curdled egg from ending up in the finished pie.

Refrigerate for 4+ hours (preferably overnight) before serving
