Did you know the origin of your grandmother’s apple pie dates back to ancient Egypt? Egyptian bakers in 1,300 B.C. folded bread dough around nuts, honey and fruits in the form of today’s rustic tarts or galettes. These fillings were often used in reeds rather than dough, simply to hold the pie together as it cooked. The Greeks and Romans carried on the pie-making tradition by wrapping meat in a flour and water paste, according to the American Pie Council. Fast forward a couple thousand years and those primitive pastries evolved into the pies we know today. In honor of National Pie Day on Friday, stop by one of the locations below for a slice of free pie.
CALIFORNIA: Buy four mini pies from the Petaluma Pie Company store on Friday and get the fifth one free.
MASSACHUSETTS: Head over to the Beverly Public Library for a pie potluck and story swap with local storyteller Tony Toledo from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The potluck is open to all, just bring a homemade or store-bought pie (sweet or savory) to share.
MICHIGAN: All 15 locations of Grand Traverse Pie Co. will offer a free slice of apple or cherry crumb pie with any purchase.
NEW YORK: You could win a fresh pie from Little Pie Company by sharing a photo of one of their pies from their website or social media pages, along with the hashtag #LittlePieDay.
