I can't wait to hear on how the maple one turns out. However, I wouldn't use it in pie dough. The point of vinegar in pie dough is to add some acidity to slow down gluten development, which will make the dough a bit more tender. You want to use a vinegar that is as neutral tasting as possible, or you can use lemon juice. You use so little that you won't really taste it in the pie dough. Cheers, -Helen Hi Danielle,
