Ingredients

1 9-inch pie crust
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
4 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175°C).
Line the bottom of the pie crust with parchment paper and add dried beans on top. The beans will ensure that the bottom of the crust doesn't lift. Bake for 8-10 minutes in a preheated oven, remove it from the oven, and let it cool. (You don't want the pie crust to be too brown.) Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the melted and slightly cooled butter, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is thoroughly blended.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle some ground nutmeg on the pie if desired.
Place the vinegar pie on the center rack of a preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. The pie may have a slightly jiggly center but will firm up as it cools.
Once done, remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours.
You can serve vinegar pie after it cools to room temperature or refrigerate it for a few hours to fully set.

Notes

Experiment with different varieties of vinegar for unique flavors, such as plum, pineapple, or balsamic vinegar.
Make sure the pie has completely cooled before cutting and serving it. The filling needs a little time to set up and hold together.
Garnish each slice with whipped cream or serve it with a scoop of ice cream.
