Would You Eat A Water Pie?

Some TikTokers are rediscovering cheap, Depression-era desserts. But would you serve guests a water pie? Water Pie does not require milk or eggs, items that were expensive during the 1930s. All you need to bake your own water pie is crust, water, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and butter. After pouring water into the crust along with flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and butter, the liquid-y concoction goes into the oven. Due to the melted sugar and fat from the butter, the pie comes out sliceable. Some chefs spruce up their water pies with citrus, coconut, or cinnamon. Other unusual Depression-era desserts include vinegar pie, wacky cake, and tomato soup cake. (The Takeout)
