Pie Recipes
Before we get to the pie recipes, we would like to share a few pie facts.
A pie is a baked dish with a pastry shell that covers or completely contains a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit,
cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredient.
Pies can be either one crust, where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry top before baking, or two crust, with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell.
A survey by the American Pie Council found that the favorite favor of pie for one out of four Americans is apple. It is
followed by pumpkin, chocolate, lemon meringue and cherry.
Other common names for pie include: streusel, tart, turnover and crumble.
When asked what dessert Americans would prefer a family member or friend bring to their house for holiday dinner, the top spot was pie with 29%. Cake came in second with 17% followed by cookies at 15%.
