Who Invented the Apple pie?

Question

Is there anyone who claims to have "invented" the apple pie? Or, where was it first recorded?

Answer 1

Well no one really knows but apple pie (english) recipes go back to the time of Chaucer in a 1381 recipe. Dutch apple pie (appeltaart or appelgebak) recipes go back a long way. There is a painting dated 1626 featuring such a pie.

However, the American apple pie had to wait for carefully planted pips, brought in barrels across the Atlantic, to become fruit-bearing apple trees. There are American apple-pie recipes, both manuscript and printed, from the 18th century, and it has since become a very popular dessert

Answer 2

Fruit pies have been around Europe for centuries. Apples were imported to the U.S. (remember the story of Johnny Appleseed?). The saying, "American as apple pie" probably had the reversed meaning than it is today. Today the meaning means a "true" American, when it probably originally meant an immigrant.

Answer 3

Fruit and cheese pies were invented by the Greeks. Apple Pie? Not sure.

Answer 4

Johnny Appleseed's mom.
Her husband had a flour mill. Together history was made with the leftovers.

Little known fact.

Answer 5

I know that the french, the dutch and the English each had their own recipe.
Then came the American one.

Answer 6

It was not invented, it is an instinctive aspect of motherhood.
