Origins of National Pie Day: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrated annually on January 23rd, 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 \u00a0to Crisco’s 75th anniversary. The five most popular pie flavors are:<\/em> Key Lime Pie (my fave!), Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Cherry Pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
