There are two kinds of people in this world: those who prefer cake and those who prefer pie. For you pie people, National Pie Day was created simply to celebrate the love of pie. It started in the mid-1970s by Boulder, Colorado nuclear engineer, brewer and teacher Charlie Papazian after he declared his own birthday, Jan. 23, to be National Pie Day.
Pie shows up in written recipes dating back as far as the ancient Greeks, but until recently pie crust was mostly used as a vehicle for filling. Unlike many of today’s luscious, buttery crusts, early pie crusts often didn’t get eaten at all. The pie was covered in a ton of dough and acted as a container to keep the meat moist and prevent it from burning. Thankfully that changed and evolved into the delicious pies we enjoy today.
The best way to celebrate this day is to spend time with friends and have a sugary pie. So preheat your oven or visit your local bakery, grab a slice and celebrate the simple, delicious pleasures of pie.
