Although you may be forgiven to assume that Apple Pie is an American creation, it was actually created right here in good old Blighty. Apple pie originated in England, where it used culinary influences from France, the Netherlands, and the Ottoman Empire as early as 1390—centuries before the Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock.

Eventually, apple pie was brought by European settlers to the USA, where the dish quickly caught on. America’s first cookbook, American Cookery was written by Amelia Simmons, published in 1796, included two recipes for the fruit-based dessert. Easy and affordable, apple pie was a staple in American cuisine by the 18th and 19th centuries.
