Whether you’re a fan of fruit-filled pies, savory quiches, or decadent cream pies, this day is a perfect excuse to savor the comforting goodness of this timeless treat. In this blog post, we’ll explore the origins of National Pie Day and share some creative ways to honor and celebrate this delectable tradition.

Origins of National Pie Day:

National Pie Day was created by the American Pie Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving America’s pie heritage. The council, established in 1986, believed that pies deserved a special day of recognition and also to celebrate  to Crisco’s 75th anniversary. The five most popular pie flavors are: Key Lime Pie (my fave!), Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Cherry Pie.

Ways to Celebrate National Pie Day:

1. Bake a Pie: Gather your family and friends to bake a pie together. Whether it’s a classic apple pie, a savory chicken pot pie, or a chocolate silk pie, the options are endless. Don’t forget to enjoy the sweet aroma as it fills your home.
2. Pie Tasting Party: Host a pie tasting party with a variety of pies. Encourage everyone to bring their favorite pie or try a new recipe. It’s a fun way to discover different flavors and share the joy of pie with others.

5. Share the Love: Bake a pie and surprise a neighbor, friend, or family member. The act of sharing a homemade pie can bring joy and create lasting memories.
