Celebrate National Pie Day (January 23)

Pies have a special place in most homes and are usually only enjoyed on special occasions. And today, we're celebrating National Pie Day with, well, pie! I remember looking forward to my Grandmother's pies on the holidays. She made the best Strawberry Rhubarb pie around!

Just as a sort of National Pie Day Trivia here are a couple of definitions for you:

A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savory ingredients.

A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savory, though modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard. (source)

Following is a list of over 50 pies, some linked to their recipes, so pull out the apron and rolling pin and get to baking because there is surely one on the list you haven't tried yet.
