Depression era Water Pie

by

I like trying new things, and when I saw the ‘Water Pie’, I thought that will be a fun/funny addition to the festivities for an after Christmas get-together. Have any of you ever heard of this or tried it? I used some extra dough and made 2 little stockings, coated in sugar – but they overbaked. I’ll comment later how the pie tasted. -krisgo
