  • From Coast to Coast America Celebrates National Pie Day
    American Pie Council Newsletter www.piecouncil.org Winter 2008 FROM COAST TO COAST AMERICA CELEBRATES NATIONAL PIE DAY The American Pie Council and its members encouraged all Americans to celebrate National Pie Day’s 25th anniversary on January 23rd by encouraging pie lovers to “pay it forward” by spreading goodwill through sharing pie with loved ones and strangers alike. From coast to coast, APC members, sponsors and other supporters participated in National Pie Day in a big way this year. In the Midwestern town of Columbus, Nebraska, Phyllis Bartholomew of Blue Ribbon Pie Co. delivered free, fresh-baked pies to first responder and military personnel, including local fire fighters, police officers and members of the armed forces. Cookbook author and frequent Food Network contributor John Michael Lerma shared his expert pie baking knowledge by conducting a class on National Pie Day at the Cooks of Crocus Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota. Taxi drivers across Chicago hung apple pie-scented air fresheners from the American Pie Council – they’ll “pay it forward” by giving their passengers the comforting aroma of apple pie as they travel along their journey. And in Frankenmuth, Michigan, the Michigan Apple Committee hosted a National Pie Day contest to determine Michigan’s Best Apple Pie. The winner, Fred Burns received $500 "Pie Team" with iVillage Live co-hosts on National Pie Day and a free trip to Florida to compete in the APC Crisco National Pie Championships in April.

  • Organic Wine & Pie Pairings
    Organic Wine & Pie Pairings. We’re celebrating National Pie Day with a few suggestions for organic wine & pie pairings! From sweet to savory, sparkling white to spicy red, we’ve got you covered. All organic wines listed and of course amazing pies are available at Whole Foods Market and 365 by Whole Foods as well as other fine retailers nationwide. National Pie Day History National Pie Day was established in 1975 by then grade school teacher Charlie Papazian in Boulder, Colorado, in a simple declaration to his kindergarten, first and second grade students that his birthday, January 23, would be National Pie Day. He filed the proper paperwork to have the holiday established nationwide and the rest is history. Papazian’s Halloween costume that year was a giant blueberry pie. National Pie Day celebration eventually spurred the creation of the American Pie Council, an industry trade group that brought to life Papazian’s dream of a pie bakeoff at the Great American Pie Festival, now the National Pie Championship. While Papazian went on to establish the now world- famous Great American Beer Festival, we have it on good authority that he does appreciate good organic wine & pie pairings as well! A Brief History of pie, courtesy of the American Pie Council: • Pie has been around since the ancient Egyptians. The first pies were made by early Romans who may have learned about it through the Greeks. These pies were sometimes made in “reeds” which were used for the sole purpose of holding the filling and not for eating with the filling.

  • If You Lined up the Number of Pies Sold at U.S
    Pie Fun Facts Approx. $700 million in pies (approx. 186 million units) are sold in grocery stores every year. This does not include restaurants, food service or price clubs, only grocery stores. If you lined up the number of pies sold at U.S. grocery stores in one year, they would circle the globe and then some. According to a 2008 survey by Crisco® and American Pie Council: • Nearly one out of five (19%) of Americans prefer apple pie, followed by pumpkin (13%), pecan (12%), banana cream (10%) and cherry (9%) • Pie just isn’t for after-dinner dessert. Thirty-five percent of Americans say they’ve had pies for breakfast. Pies as lunch (66%) and midnight snacks (59%) also have a popular following. • When asked what dessert Americans would prefer a friend or family member bring to their house for a holiday dinner, pie was the winner with 29%. Cake (17%) and cookies (15%) rounded out the top-three spots. Pumpkin pie was first introduced to the holiday table at the pilgrim’s second Thanksgiving in 1623. Pie was not always America’s favorite dessert – in the 19th Century, fruit pies were a common breakfast food eaten before the start of a long day. According to a 2008 “Pie Slice of Life” Survey, conducted by Schwan’s Consumer Brady Brands North America, Inc., Carol of The Brady Bunch was picked by 40% of survey respondents as the TV mom that would bake the best pie. The Cosby Show’s Claire Huxtable was second with 22%, Desperate Houswives’ Bree Van de Camp was third with 16 percent, Everybody Loves Raymond’s Debra Barone was fourth with 13% while The Simpsons’ Marge Simpson came in fifth with 8%.
