Question Hello,
My grandmother made the best vinegar pie. Most people
have never heard of it or they are not like hers.
She passed away years ago and never gave any of us
her recipe. I know it only have water, butter, dough
and lots of sugar and some apple cider vinegar. Do
you know where I can find a recipe? Thank you, Nikki
Answer Hi Nikki,
Here is a recipe for you to try. It calls for 2 teaspoons Limoncello, or other lemon-flavored liqueur, or lemon extract. You can omit this or use lemon zest instead. I hope you enjoy the recipe.
