Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Whisk together sugar, flour and nutmeg; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll one-third of pie dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 2x1-in. strips. Layer a deep 12-in. enamel-coated cast-iron skillet or ovenproof casserole with half the strips; sprinkle with half the sugar mixture. Dot with half the butter. Repeat sugar and butter layers., Roll remaining two-thirds of pie dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling, pressing against sides of skillet or casserole. Cut a slit in top. Add vinegar to hot water; slowly pour vinegar mixture through slit. Liquid may bubble up through crust; this is normal. To catch spills, line an oven rack with foil., Bake until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.

VINEGAR PIE I
This is a very old pie, probably invented by people who had little access to fresh supplies such as lemons or cream. Some say that it was the pioneer women who first thought up the idea. The lemon extract in this recipe is a my addition. The original recipe calls for regular vinegar which, for me, gives a bland pie. You can substitute apple cider vinegar, leaving out the lemon extract, for a very good taste. Be sure to let the pie crust cool before filling.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix the flour with 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the water gradually and cook on top of a double boiler for 15 minutes, stirring constantly, or until thickened.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the yolks and salt and mix well with a whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the hot flour mixture to the yolk mixture gradually, mixing all the time. Return to the double boiler and cook for about 3 minutes more or until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Add the butter, extract, and vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat. Place a piece of plastic on top of this custard.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until foamy and gradually add the 6 tablespoons sugar. Beat until a stiff, glossy peak is achieved.
- Pour the custard filling into the prebaked shell ( the custard should still be hot, if not, heat up a again before adding to shell). Top with the meringue. Spread the meringue all over the top of the pie, sealing to the edges of the crust. Place into the oven and bake until the meringue is a nice nut brown, about 15 minutes. Traditionally, this pie is served hot.

Tips:
- Make sure your vinegar is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the pie crust to be more tender.
- If you don't have any nutmeg, you can use a pinch of ground cloves or allspice instead.
- You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling for extra flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the filling, as this will make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up.
Conclusion:
Cherokee Old Fashioned Vinegar Pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. The combination of sweet and tart flavors is perfectly balanced, and the flaky crust is the perfect finishing touch. With a little planning ahead, this pie is easy to make and can be enjoyed all year round.
