National Pie Day
On National Pie Day, dessert enthusiasts around the country enjoy a slice of their favorite on December 1st each year. Pie is so delectable that we repeat it twice a year. January 23rd is the most popular date.
Although it is the lesser of the two celebrated PIE days (don't forget National Pi Day on March 14th), it does fall smack dab in the middle of a big pie-making season.
Most people favor either cake people or pie people, with ice cream as a dessert option. Or, to put it another way, most people have cake or pie with their ice cream! The day brings together our bumper fruit crops with a burgeoning holiday season full of baked goods, cool weather, and rosy-cheeked children. It's definitely time to tie on those apron strings and get baking.
Of course, we make more than fruit pies! On a cold winter's day and the warmth a family cook needs when caring for a family, Savory pot pies provide warmth on a cold winter's day and the content a family cook needs when caring for a family.
