Ingredients

Here’s what you will need to make this delightful pie:

1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Chess Pie!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges as you desire. If using a store-bought crust, simply place it into the pie plate according to package instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cornmeal, flour, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Add the melted butter to the dry mixture and stir until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the vanilla extract and vinegar. Mix until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Chess Pie!
