National Pie Day

A pie is a baked dish that typically consists of a pastry crust filled with sweet or savory ingredients. The crust can be made from a variety of ingredients, including flour, butter, and water, and can be flavored with spices or herbs. Sweet pies are usually filled with fruits, such as apples, berries, or peaches, or with custard or cream fillings. They are often served as desserts and can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Savory pies, on the other hand, are usually filled with meat, vegetables, or cheese and are often served as a main course. Some popular savory pie fillings include chicken and mushroom, beef and ale, and spinach and feta. Pies can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small individual pies to large family-sized pies. They are a popular food in many cultures and are often associated with holidays and special occasions.
