Vinegar Pie

Nicknamed “the poor man’s lemon pie", vinegar pie began appearing in kitchens in the American South around the mid-1800's. It's not clear exactly how or why it was created, but it's likely that cooks began using cider vinegar instead of the fruit or lemon juice because it was cheaper. In the same spirit, Great Depression-era cooks used to make "apple pie" filling from crackers and lemon juice. Despite its unappealing name, vinegar pie has actually made a bit of a comeback in recent years, appearing on the menus of several fancy restaurants.
