Sounds about right. My granddad was talking about these pies earlier this year when I was talking about depression good. We have a place in my hometown that makes dough burgers. It's just flour and little portions of meat and deep fried. So it looks like a big bear battered fish filet.

It was also a depression meal because the dough expanded to make you feel full.

It's made from just water, flour, sugar, vanilla and butter in a pie crust

[-]

PM_ME_YOURINIT@reddit

So it's bread, in a tin

[-]

koJJ1414@reddit

no, because the filling uses flour to water proportions pf custard (without the egg), so it's still fully wet when taken out of the oven (except for the carmelized sugar layer) and only somewhat solidifies after thoroughly cooled

JohannesVanDerWhales@reddit

VereDiz@reddit

Tl;dw:

The pie is not actually from the Great Depression of the 1920s-1930s, but from another depression era of the late 1880s (at least based on the earliest written record we have of it)

It's meant as a cheap alternative to custard pies and the like, because pies (both savoury and sweet) were all the rage back then

spidermom4@reddit

Every thanksgiving my family would make a depression meal my great grandmother came up with during the great depression to serve as a side on Thanksgiving. We call it "cracker butter noodles." Basically you boil egg noodles, drain them and add a lot of butter, and then add crushed saltines on top. It was always meant to be a, "See how good we have it now? Be thankful we can afford better food now." And my mom would always tell any visitors the story of her grandma making the noodles herself, and serving it alongside a chicken of hers she butchered, and an apple pie from their tree. Only problem with that is we LOVED it and requested cracker butter noodles at every holiday.

[-]

EugenesMullet@reddit

This is exactly why they call it a depression.

Is it tasty? Whats the texture like?

[-]

DAS-SANDWITCH@reddit

I loved the video! It's also funny to see that everyone except B Dylan Hollis seems to like the water pie they make.

[-]

buttercream-gang@reddit

I loved it when I made it!

[-]

amateur_mistake@reddit

I'm literally about to use his recipe for hot water hand pie crust. Fantastic stuff.

[-]

Prohawins@reddit

Literally just watched a video of this on YouTube and now it's showing in my Reddit feed weird

[-]

KCGD_r@reddit

well you nailed the depression aspect

[-]

Firephox@reddit

That's almost the same thing as a "Sugar Cream Pie" which uses milk or cream instead of water. I've made it many times as my Mom used to make it when I was a kid growing up in Indiana. It's the officially recognized state pie of Indiana and also known as "Desperation Pie" for its use of minimal pantry staples.

Doctor: Drink 64oz of water per day

me: can it be in pie

[-]

ChemistryStrict6884@reddit

I just watched that video, it was really interesting. I hope your pie was as tasty as he said his was!

[-]

megkegdotcom@reddit

why?

[-]

ArielofIsha@reddit

It’s delicious. Won me third place in my pie context this year.

[-]

NiceTrySuckaz@reddit

Based in the subtext here, I'm guessing this pie is more representative of your current mental health stage than anything else

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

Lmao I'm hanging in there. This year has been tough on me financially but I just got a new job after looking for months. I mostly decided to make this pie for fun and to troll my friends a little.

[-]

acidtrippinpanda@reddit

In the same boat too! Got laid off end of January and just got my offer

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

Congrats homie, hope you enjoy your new job

[-]

ThatOneChiGuy@reddit

Congrats on the job offer

Appropriate-Log8506@reddit

What’s in the filling? Water, sugar, butter? Ive seen recipe with crumbled crackers in them too.

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

Water, sugar, flour, a small bit of nutmeg, and vanilla extract

[-]

skippengs@reddit

Too fancy

[-]

FormingTheVoid@reddit

I love watching Tasting History noice

[-]

Cute_Comfortable_761@reddit

It looks… almost like applesauce

[-]

3godeth@reddit

I’ve made water pie too. Really doesn’t taste bad and you make it with almost nothing. Kind of a cinnamon jello pie basically.

[-]

Zanven1@reddit

I was going to ask if you were inspired by Max Miller before seeing the body text. Haven't watched that one yet but saw the thumbnail. I've been meaning to try a bunch of his recipes.

[-]

West_Try216@reddit

Oh, hey, a Max Miller fan!

[-]

Chicken_and_a_fan@reddit

Love tasting history

[-]

erikivy@reddit

Cool! It will go great with my ninjabread cookies.

[-]

radroamingromanian@reddit

I just watched that video last night! How was it ?

[-]

applesauceforlife@reddit

I just finished watching Max Miller's video on this. I open Reddit and see this. Crazy.

[-]

sam120310@reddit

is this like vinegar pie? if so i make mine in a casserole dish and no pie crust and it’s SOO GOOD. i grew up w my grandma calling it peach cobbler without the peaches and i recently became obsessed w it again lol

[-]

Piranja_@reddit

Wth is a water pie? 😅

[-]

donuttrackme@reddit

That looks great! What's shitty about it?

[-]

treixxreaixx@reddit

Man there's a lot of "depression food" popping in my screen lately. It's a shame they aren't easy-making food for depressed people

SeaAware3305@reddit

Ah a fellow Tasting History fan I see

[-]

LunarBahamut@reddit

It looks good? I don't see anything wrong with this.

[-]

YesImKeithHernandez@reddit

Started getting served this british cook on youtube reels who made one of these. He mentioned it tasting pretty good especially with the context that you wouldn't be exposed to much else sweet with consistency when these were common back in the day

[-]

CarlySortof@reddit

Ummm ackshually if you watched the tasting history video you’d know it’s actually earlier than the great depression!

[-]

JadedBumblebee396@reddit

Probably just needs a lil whip cream

[-]

kurly-bird@reddit

Water Pie aka Joyce and the pie that took over threads for a week

[-]

CeeArthur@reddit

That's so funny, I was just watching YouTube videos about depression era food last night and kept coming across "water pie"

Love some water pie.

I love water pie ngl, I made it last year and I still think about it

Modern problems require modern solutions

[-]

No_Poet_7244@reddit

Hey, I feel like I’ve entered my own depression era just seeing this.

[-]

OrionGrant@reddit

When done right, these are good. I've made a few of them, the trick is to make them not too sweet, which is hard sometimes.

[-]

Reload86@reddit

Max Miller? Great choice. Huge fan of his work.

[-]

Cogester@reddit

Someone watched the new Tasting History episode 🫡

[-]

elibutton@reddit

it looks depressing, but how was the taste?

[-]

ayrek@reddit

I just knew this was going to be Tasting History inspired!

[-]

sweetfruitloops@reddit

Sooo… how was it?

[-]

fanceypantsey@reddit

We’re definitely going into the next depression so please post the recipe and how it tastes even though by the time we need it I don’t think we’ll care anymore

[-]

Bhanumayi@reddit

Thanks for this. I had no idea. There was such a thing I’m going to try it.

[-]

Jeff_Bezhoes@reddit

Interesting. It does look fairly cheap to make.

[-]

leclercwitch@reddit

Did you watch the tasting history video?

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

Yeah I did. I love that channel a lot. I know this isn't technically from the great depression but I felt like it was representative of that time for sure.

[-]

leclercwitch@reddit

Sorry I didn’t see your caption! I watch all of his videos and I’ve heard of this before so it was interesting to see how it was actually made 😄

[-]

Turd_Ferguson420@reddit

Is this before or after baking? Doesn’t seem like you filled it up enough tbh. Sadly I’ve seen a few water pie videos & they look a bit different than yours.

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

This pic was taken after I just took it out of the oven, it's thickened up a bit but the filling did evaporate a bit in the oven. This was my first time baking a pie so please excuse my amateur effort lol

[-]

SunwingArt@reddit (OP)

That sounds amazing, maybe I'll try that for thanksgiving

[-]

Icy-Yew-0837@reddit

I am depressed just looking at this

[-]

Stew... make a stew.

Water pie is just sad.
