Our old farm kitchen never seemed more homey or inviting than when there were several freshly baked pies cooling on the bake-table with their sweet, enticing fragrances filling the room.

Grandma's dessert recipes will allow you to experience those wonderful nostalgic times again.

The History Of Pies

old fashioned pie made from easy pie recipes Pie making likely began with the Greeks around 200 B.C. Grecian pies were sometimes baked in a thick, bread-like crust, and after the Romans conquered Greece, they eventually introduced their recipe for pie to their fellow citizens and to much of Europe.

Early pies were mostly meat pies, however, and it was not until after the Crusaders returned to Europe in the 12th century with a taste for Arab confections that honey, sugar, and fruits began to be incorporated.

The first all-fruit pies became popularized in England during the 1500s, and it's known that Queen Elizabeth I grew very fond of them. She also loved tarts highly sweetened with sugar. Numerous recipes for pies were developed by chefs employed by the nobility, and pies and tarts eventually became a pleasurable treat enjoyed by all.
