Pie in Your Eye
Pie as we know it today didn’t really come into common use until a few hundred years ago, when sugar became readily available. The first recipe for a modern apple pie with quince, butter, saffron, eggs, and ginger appeared in the sixteenth century, and the first American recipes for apple pie came out in 1796.
