It's national peach pie day on the 24th August.
Peach pie has its roots in Europe, particularly in England and France, during the 1600s. The Europeans were cultivating peaches and using them in various culinary creations. As the popularity of pies grew, peaches became a common filling for these delicious pastries.
Peach pie made its way to Colonial America with early settlers in the 1700s. The European tradition of using peaches in pies was transferred to the New World, where the fruit thrived in the warm climate. It became a cherished dessert among American households, especially in the southern states.
Throughout the 1800s, variations of peach pie started to emerge across different regions of the United States. Southern cooks embraced the peach pie as a staple, often adding a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor. In the Midwest, where peaches were abundant, peach pie became a cherished summertime dessert.
With the advent of industrialization in the early 1900s, peach pie became more accessible to a wider population. Canned peaches and pre-made pie crusts made it easier for households to whip up this delicious dessert. The simplicity of the recipe, combined with the availability of ingredients, contributed to the enduring popularity of peach pie.
Peach pie remains a beloved dessert in many parts of the world. It is considered a classic American pie and often associated with comfort food and traditional family gatherings. In some regions, such as Georgia in the United States, peach pie has even become a cultural symbol, celebrating the abundance of locally grown peaches.
