Vinegar Pie IX

Lots of cinnamon, cloves and allspice go into this sweet pie. Sugar, flour, egg, spices, water and vinegar are stirred together and heated on the stove very slowly until thick and creamy, and then the filling is poured into a prepared crust. This wonderful old-fashioned pie is then baked, cooled and served with whipped cream.
