Real Pie History
Pies in America began with the early settlers, who quickly started baking them once they settled. Beyond simple preference, pies served a practical purpose. They used less flour than bread and didn’t require a complex brick oven for baking. More importantly, pies could turn limited supplies into meals that fed several people.
Originally, pies were quite simple and often savory, filled with meat and cheese. It wasn't until the early 19th century that fruit-filled, flaky pastry turnovers appeared. Portable pies like pasties, turnovers, empanadas, pierogi, and calzones became popular among the working class and were sold by street vendors. Variations such as cobblers, slumps, and grunts demonstrate the endless possibilities of pie.
Pie-making, which involves filling a pastry casing with sweet or savory ingredients, has a long history. While the basic idea has remained consistent, different cultures have influenced pie's development. Methods of cooking (baked or fried), types of pastry (from flatbread to layered crusts), and various cultural interpretations (like pita, pizza, or quiche) all contribute to the rich history of pies.
In essence, a pie is a blend of ingredients enclosed and baked in pastry, a concept that has evolved but fundamentally stayed the same over time.
