It is believed the first pies were made by the Romans. The Romans used the crust to hold the filling in, but they did not eat the crust. It is also believed Romans wrote down the very first pie recipe: a rye-crusted goat cheese and honey pie, dated the second century B.C.
Traditional American pies are usually sweet dessert dishes, but in England around the 12th century, the majority of pies were meat-based. At that time, the crust was called a coffyn and these pies featured more crust than filling. The term crust wasn't used until the American Revolution.
It is also believed England introduced the first fruit pies or tarts (pasties) in the 1500s, with the first cherry pie is said to have been made for Queen Elizabeth I.
Pie Trivia:
