I've eaten my share of pies in my life. I've baked pies since I was 12.
Never have I come across a recipe that called for vinegar, never have I
eaten a pie that had vinegar in the crust and I can think of no reason
whatsoever I would ever put vinegar in a pie crust. Pie crust is flour, ice
water, shortening and salt. That's it.

Look FoodTV has decayed to the point where it's most popular 'cooks" not
only cannot cook but admit it as well. I'd just chalk it up to a channel
that considers canned chili topped with butter soaked cornbread to be a
"healthy" dish.
