National Pie Day

Not to be confused with National Pi Day, today is an auspicious date as the day we celebrate a most cherished dessert meal in the history of all baked dishes: the Pie.  Be your favorite apple, cherry, or even banana cream, it's a day where we can celebrate with a warm slice of flaky-crusted goodness.  Personally, I like banana cream but have been known to make an exception for apple pie a la mode. 

What's your favorite pie and where does it come from?  Is cheesecake considered pie?  Perhaps we shall find out and what better day to do so than the day we celebrate that tin-pan baked confection.

"Eew cheesecake?" I still don't understand what's wrong with the graham cracker crust and the oh so creamy cake/pie itself.

Pumpkin pie when it's in season is still a killer dessert. Too bad the holidays are over.
