I've been scouring my cookbooks and the internet for a vinegar pie that calls for a double crust. It's for my aunt, who remembers the recipe from her childhood. I suggested adding a top crust to one of the recipes I found, but she insists there was another step before adding the top crust. Any suggestions?
Just pick one of the recipes and add the top crust. Make the pie for her and let her decide. If she can't remember the "extra step" she probably won't know the difference. Sometimes I recall things in a distinct manner and when I check it out my recall is faulty.

Title: Vinegar Pie 4 Recipe By: Category: Pies Main Ingredient: Cuisine Style: Yield: 6 Serving Preparation Time: 0:00 Cooking Time: 0:00
[Amount] [Measure] [Ingredient (or Header)] -- [Preparation]---------- ------------ ---------------------------------------------- 1/4 cup Unbleached Flour 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves 1 dash Salt 4 large Egg Yellows (Yolks) 2 large Egg Whites 1 cup Sugar 1 cup Sour Cream (Commercial) 3 tbsp Melted Butter 3 tbsp Cider Vinegar 1 cup Coarsely Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans 1 cup Raisins
[Preparation] Prepare an unbaked single pie crust.NOTE: This is a version (Updated slightly) of a very old recipe. It was used by many a farmer's wife and frontier wife to use up sour milk and cream for a dessert. The vinegar is used to preserve the pie where there was no refrigeration. It is basically a spice custard pie.
Prepare the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan. Chill while making the filling.
Sift the flour, spices, and salt together and set aside
Beat the egg yellows thoroughly. Wash and dry the beater, then beat the 2 egg whites until they stand in peaks. Gently fold the sugar into the egg whites and stir into the yellows. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream.
Combine the butter, vinegar, nuts, and raisins and stir into the filling. Pour into the pie shell and bake in a preheated 450 degree F. Oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees F. and bake 5 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 350 degrees F. and continue baking for about 15 minutes or until the filling is set. Cool. May be served with whipped cream, if desired.

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding the second crust was my thought as well. I'd love to make the pie for her, but unfortunately, she lives across the country from me!
