National Apple Pie Day 2023: Date, History, Celebrations of Apple Pie Day

On May 13, grab a fork and a serviette, as Apple Pie Day is approaching. What a vacation you can truly sink your fangs into!

The existence of apple pie dates back to the Middle Ages. A 1514 Dutch cookbook contains a recipe for Appeltaerten. It required a traditional pie crust, segments of soft, seedless apples, and a variety of flavorful spices—specifically cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, mace, and sugar—all of which were cooked in a traditional Dutch oven. The English had their own variant of apple pie as early as the time of Chaucer. In addition to apples and spices, the English version suggests adding figs, raisins, and pears to the concoction. Apple crumble was the gold standard in Sweden. Instead of pastry, traditional Swedish apple crumble calls for breadcrumbs or rolled oats and is served with custard or ice cream. As tarte tatin, apple pie is served inverted in France.

The background of National Apple Pie Day

The French caramelised their apples, which added an entirely new dimension to their flavour. They were also the ones who decided to add cheese to their pies, which makes for an unexpectedly tasty delicacy. Apple pie was eventually introduced to the American colonies in the 17th century. Apple trees, which were not native to the Americas, began to develop over time, making baking much simpler. Now, apple pie is considered one of the most American items in the world because it has become such an indelible part of the American identity.

The delightful thing about apples is that their neutral flavour pairs well with a variety of spices. Not only does this afford the adventurous chef room for experimentation, but it also affords any self-proclaimed foodie a delectable opportunity. On a cold day, they are the ideal warming treat, but they also combine well with a dish of ice cream.Although apple pie was not invented in the United States, it has become such an integral part of the national identity that you cannot help but feel more American with each mouthful. Moreover, the numerous influences on apple pie represent cultural collaboration and innovation, which are the pinnacle of American ideals.All you need to create an apple pie is a pie crust, a few sliced apples, cream, and spices. You can make it elaborate if you’d like, but you don’t have to travel far to find tasty ingredients. And despite its simplicity, apple pie is nearly universally adored, making it a surefire hit at your next dinner party.
