That's a good question. I think it came from England if I'm not mistaken. Maybe I'll do a search and see what kind of information I can get for you. Are you going to have a follow up cake question too?
The pie has been around since the ancient Egyptians from 2000 B.C. At some point between 1400 B.C. (Greek settlements) and 600 B.C. (the decline of Egypt) the pie is believed to have passed on to the Greeks by the Egyptians.
From Greece the pie spread to Rome, somewhere around 100 B.C. by which time pies had already been around for some 1000 years. The first known pie recipe came from the Romans and was for a rye-crusted goat cheese and honey pie.
Pies appeared in England in the 12th century and were predominantly meat pies. The crust of the pie was referred to as the “coffyn” and there was generally more crust than filling. Sometimes these pies were made with fowl and the legs were left outside the pie to act as handles. For a long time the pastry crust was actually not eaten, serving only to preserve the moisture and flavour of the filling.
A French chef named Guillaume Tirel produced a cookery book in the 14th Century that included a recipe for marinated and sautéed eel which was used for the Christian Lent period when it was forbidden to eat meat.
Pies went to America with the first English settlers. As in Roman times the early American pie crusts were not eaten, but simply designed to hold the filling. Today, virtually every country in the world has some form of pie.

possibly not plenty in the Cup sequence, yet ringers run large in national. Scott Pruett ought to have gained approximately 5 races by utilising now, and presently Ron Fellows has run large or maybe gained a race. If 2007 hadn't been an entire unfastened-for-all on the tip in Montreal, And Pilgram ought to have held the lead for greater then 2 ft for the time of the fairway-white-checkered and Patrick Carpentier ought to have had of venture. As for the Cup sequence, they won't win, yet while exchange into the final time a "ringer" had a real high quality journey? a minimum of the ringers can grant the communities close to the ideal 35 bubble a real shot in the arm.

G'day Da Chestnut,
Thank you for your question.
The pie was first developed in Egypt around 2000 BC. It spread to Greece sometime in the first millenia BC and then to Rome about 100 BC . The Greeks developed pastry. From there it has travelled around the world. The word pie is first recorded around 1300.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards
