Actually, according to my sources, there appear to be in fact TWO National Pie Days, the other one being January 23. Not to be confused with Pi Day on March 14! But we'll go ahead and celebrate pie today.
Ahh, there's nothing quite like a homemade pie. Buttery crust, scrumptious filling. What's your favorite kind of pie? Chocolate, caramel, or shoo fly? Fruity kinds like apple, blueberry, or peach? Savory pies like quiche or chicken potpie?
I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Though I'm more of a cake person, I really get into pies like coconut custard and chocolate peanut butter! And nothing beats warm apple pie, right out of the oven.
So eat some pie today! Bake some pie today! And check out the books below, available through the Lackawanna County Library System.
Happy Pie Day!
The Everything Pie Cookbook by Kelly Jaggers (lots of delicious and unusual recipes)
Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream by Jenny Han (children's book about a girl who wants to win the Little Miss Apple Pie contest)
Apple Pie ABC by Allison Murray (teach your kids the ABCs with this picture book!)
Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke (mystery with recipes!)
