Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 units large eggs
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 unit prepared pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired, then set it aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Whisk together to remove any lumps.

Step 4

Add the water to the saucepan and stir to form a smooth mixture.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Once the mixture has thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them. Repeat this process, adding the hot filling gradually to the eggs, to avoid curdling.

Step 8

Once the eggs are fully incorporated, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook for another 1-2 minutes on low heat, stirring continuously.

Step 9

Remove the filling from the heat and immediately pour it into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top has a slight golden color.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
