History of National Apple Pie Day
There is no record of when National Apple Pie Day was created, or who created it. Like many other food holidays, it likely grew from a shared appreciation for this classic dessert. However, apple pie has a long and interesting history. Funnily enough, the apple pie was not invented in America.
The apple pie was originally invented in England, and the earliest apple pie recipe dates all the way back to 1381. The original recipe is very similar to the one we currently know, but it also included figs, raisins, pears, and saffron. The Dutch also created their own version of the apple pie, and the first recipe was published in a 1514 cookbook. This recipe is very similar to the apple pie we know and love today.
It was the English and Dutch settlers that brought apple pie into the colonies of what would become the United States, during the 17th and 18th centuries. They had to wait until the apple trees they planted grew and bore fruit, and initially, apples were mainly used to make cider. It was only in the 18th century that the first apple pie recipes were printed in America, and the dessert quickly grew in popularity.
Americans loved apple pie so much, that in the 19th and 20th centuries it became a symbol of prosperity and national pride, and known as something that is “typically American”. During World War II, when asked why they were going to fight in the war, American soldiers would famously reply “for Mom and for apple pie”. Today, apple pie is still the favorite one amongst the majority of Americans.
