Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (unbaked, 9-inch)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour until well combined.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until just melted, then remove from the heat.
Slowly whisk the melted butter into the sugar and flour mixture until smooth.
Add the apple cider vinegar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the custard filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
Optional: Lightly dust the top of the pie with ground cinnamon for garnish before serving.
Slice the pie into 8 even portions and serve. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
