I’ll admit it – I’m a huge fan of all kinds of pies! Apple, blueberry, key lime, and pumpkin are at the top of my list, but I’d never say no to a slice of almost any pie! I’m already planning to bring a few pies to Thanksgiving dinner next week, and I’ll make sure I don’t forget the whipped cream and vanilla ice cream to go with them! Yum!

Fun Facts About Pie

– Approximately 2 billion dollars in pies are sold in grocery stores every year.

– According to an American Pie Council survey, pie isn’t just an after-dinner dessert. Thirty-five percent of Americans said they’ve eaten pie for breakfast. Eating pie for lunch (66%) and midnight snacks (59%) were also popular responses.
