Blue Ribbon Recipe by

AMAZING AND OH SO VERSATILE! I made a German Chocolate V.P. today. I have had this pie with canned fruit cocktail, just coconut, just chocolate just pecans or walnuts, every kind of berry you can think of. Everything works in or on this pie and is GREAT just PLAIN! This is a very old hand-me-down recipe from my mom's mother Rebecca Miller, my little lovely Grammy Bec. She would always tell us how her mother my Great MawMaw Sara would make this pie every Sunday either plain or with something in or on it depending on how much she got to sew that week or if berries were in season to top it.

We tested the German Chocolate Vinegar Pie and, oh my, it was good. The base pie is rich and creamy. It only gets better when you add the chocolate, coconut, and pecans. They sent this pie over the top!

How To Make grammy bec's vinegar pie

  • ingredients on the counter
    1
    This is the best base pie I have ever used. I have had it plain or with raspberries and lemon curd, German chocolate style (the one I made today), drained fruit cocktail baked in it, strawberries, peaches, mango... about any fruit you can think of and every nut you can think of! Just plain is awesome on its own. Just so versatile and oh so good.
  • Empty pie crust
    2
    Prepare pie crust making fresh or using refrigerated. If using frozen MAKE SURE IT IS THAWED. Also, make sure all the cracks are pressed together! LOL, I made a floater as my hubby called it the filling went under the crust and it floated all throughout the pie. It was still good but uggggggggggglllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
  • oven preheated to 350
    3
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3 raw eggs in a bowl
    4
    In a medium mixing bowl, add 3 eggs and remove the roosters (the white stringy thing). BOTH my Grandmas always had me take out the roosters. They always said it makes shiny spots on the top of the pies. (I really think they just didn't like them, lol. But I always take them out.)
  • beaten eggs and whisk in a bowl
    5
    To the eggs, add 1 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
  • beaten eggs, vanilla, and whisk in a bowl
    6
    Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk well.
  • vinegar added to beaten eggs in a bowl
    7
    Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and again whisk well.
  • flour added to beaten eggs in a bowl
    8
    Add 2 tablespoons all-purpose and mix very well until all flour is combined and no little lumps are in the mix.
  • melted butter added to beaten eggs in a bowl
    9
    Add cooled melted butter (make sure it is cooled so you do not scramble your eggs).
  • custard mixture in a bowl with whisk
    10
    Mix well until every thing is really creamy looking.
  • raw vinegar egg mixture in pie crust
    11
    Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for a plain vinegar pie or add anything you think you would like to it! If making a plain vinegar pie, bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until set. This pie sets well so it should not shake and shimmy. Cool pie for at least 1 hour or longer. Top with anything you like. :)
  • German Chocolate Vinegar Pie
    12
    I made a German Chocolate Vinegar Pie today for my Hubby it is his fave! Make the recipe for ordinary vinegar pie and pour into unbaked pie shell. Then add 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use milk, semi-sweet or what you like).
  • German Chocolate Vinegar Pie with Coconut
    13
    1 cup of coconut flakes.
  • German Chocolate Vinegar Pie with Coconut and Pecans
    14
    Top with 1 cup chopped pecans.
  • vinegar pie with pecans cooking in oven on oven pan
    15
    Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes (same as ordinary vinegar pie).
  • A slice of german chocolate vinegar pie with a dollop of whipped cream
    16
    Let pie cool for at least 1 hour or longer. Serve with a drizzle of caramel and a scoop of whipped topping.
