National Pie Day seeks to promote the sweet and savory pastries. Pie is a baked dish made from pastry dough. It can be filled with fruits or meats and comes in a variety of sizes. Pies are often distinguished by their crusts which can define how the pie will be filled.
National Pie Day was first observed in the mid-1970s when Charlie Papazian declared his own birthday to be National Pie Day. Today, pie is enjoyed all around the world with different types and flavors depending on region. The American Pie Council even organizes an annual National Pie Championship for amateur and professional pie makers. National Pie Day is observed annually on January 23rd.
