Water Pie
"Water Pie is a classic recipe that comes from the Depression Era. During these tough times, families had to get creative with what they had on hand, and this pie is a testament to their resourcefulness! Its filling is made with only water, sugar, butter, flour, and vanilla extract, which is then baked into a flaky pie crust. Despite its simple nature, Water Pie is surprisingly flavorful and has a unique texture that's reminiscent of custard. Try Water Pie for a sweet taste of history!..."
