Apple pies originated in medieval Europe in the 14th century. The oldest recipes found date back to 1390, and use honey instead of sugar. In the 1700s, the already popular dessert from the UK was brought to the Americas. They began to appear in American cookbooks in the 18th century, but only in the 19th century did they become popular. Today, it is the most consumed sweet at the United States Independence Day picnics, on July 4th.
