What is National Apple Pie Day?
On May 13th, National Apple Pie Day, America's most popular dessert, is celebrated annually.
In 1381, the first apple pie recipe was published in England. The list of ingredients included: good apples, good spices, figs, raisins, pears, saffron, and cofyn (a form of pastry crust).
Although the apple pie existed long before the Pilgrims landed on the eastern shores of what is now The United States, Americans wax poetic about how American apple pie is made. The apple pie was a hit among the Pilgrims. The apple pie was a hit in the United States. For more than 100 years, the phrase "as American as apple pie" has been around for more than 100 years.
Pie lost its place during the twentieth century, when whole toasted cereals were becoming the "health food" fad. According to some, Apple pie saved the day of sorts by being more nutritious than other pies.
When traveling in Africa, Teddy Roosevelt was delighted to have a glimpse of home when he was served an American apple pie.
