PIE:  it’s simple, it’s American and come Thanksgiving…….. everybody saves room for it!

There are few things as American as apple pie, as the saying goes, but like much of America’s pie tradition, the original apple pie recipes came from England.  Pies today are treats made around the world,  filled with everything from sweet apples to savory chicken.
