Vinegar Pie

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Vinegar pie is an American custard pie that emerged in the nineteenth century as an inexpensive substitute for lemon meringue pie, using cider vinegar in place of costly imported lemons to achieve a similar tang. It is particularly associated with Pennsylvania Dutch and Appalachian communities and the Upper Midwest. The pie saw renewed popularity during the Great Depression and has more recently been revived by artisanal bakeries and diners.
