The pie is an all-time American favorite. This sweet and crunchy pastry which gained popularity in American homes in the 1700’s, is a favorite for almost any occasion. Pies used to be simple and had typically hard crusts which were also used for baking, since there were no baking pans at that time. Today, however, there are different varieties of pies. You can even take a pick from different pie fillings like vegetables, berries, fruits and nuts, or cheese. Perhaps the most popular and well-loved pie is the apple pie. The best apple pie recipes have a good combination of tart and sweet apples. Fresh and high quality apples help create your pie’s distinct taste. Crunchy (not burnt!) crust adds drama to a pie’s soft filling. There are actually a variety of crusts to choose from aside from the regular one, like the lattice top or criss-cross crust, the decorated pie crust, and the baked pie crust. Whatever crust you choose to use for your pie, it is important to prevent it from puffing up while baking. You can do this by pricking the crust with a fork. The best pies are sprinkled with savory seasonings, like cinnamon, that make them smell enticing enough to make your mouth water. Aside from the traditional apple pie, some of the best pies Americans have ever laid eyes on include the marvelously juicy and tasty cheeseburger pie, chocolate-banana ice cream pie, and the varieties of apple pie like Dutch and French apple pies, and apple and pear streusel pie. If you want a pie recipe that’s truly awesome, find one that’s been with your family for generations. Homemade pies are some of the best and have never failed to please even the most discriminating palate.
