But before I reveal Washington’s most popular pie, let’s learn a little bit about the history of Thanksgiving pies.

As Thanksgiving draws near, the anticipation of a grand feast is accompanied by the timeless tradition of pies—a sweet embodiment of gratitude and indulgence seamlessly woven into the tapestry of our celebrations. Originating in early civilizations, pies evolved from rudimentary crusts in Egypt and Greece to culinary masterpieces in the hands of the Romans, who introduced a medley of fillings.

Fast forward to medieval Europe, where pies metamorphosed into vessels for both sweet and savory delights. Upon reaching the New World, European settlers adapted pies to showcase locally available ingredients. While pumpkin pie now stands as a symbol of Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims and Native Americans likely relished an assortment of savory pies during their inaugural feast.

The 19th century solidified Thanksgiving as a national holiday, firmly establishing pies as a centerpiece of the celebratory meal. The advent of ready-made crusts and canned fillings democratized pie-making, contributing to the widespread tradition of baking pies for Thanksgiving. As we gather around the table, each slice signifies not just a culinary creation but a continuation of a centuries-old tradition—a delectable thread

seamlessly woven into the fabric of our celebrations.
