I was eating a digestive biscuit with my cuppa at the time and felt right cheated !!
The pastry looked lovely and I kept saying I would try making it sometime.
Like Barcud, I usually refer to Apple pie as Apple tart !

I was watching an American cookery programme this afternoon when one of the ladies on there actually had the temerity to say “Think of Apple Pie and one automatically thinks of America, if we didn’t have our national symbol already, then Apple Pie would be the top contender !
BLOOMIN CHEEK !
Just for the record, Apple Pie originated here in England. It was first mentioned by Chaucer in 1381. Dutch Pies were invented in England in the 1600’s.
I know the famous sayings ….”.As American as Apple Pie” and when the US troops were asked why they had joined up to fight in World War II the reply was always “For Mom and Apple Pie”.
But it’s not American, You can’t have it because it’s our invention !!
Just for the record, Bramley Apples belong to us too. The first Bramley’s were grown by Mrs Brailsford in Nottingham in 1809.
So there !
Feel better now I’ve got that off my chest ! Get fed up when other countries claim our glory.
Don't you?

Didn't the Romans have them?
<<Small sweet cakes eaten by the ancient Egyptians may well have included types using pastry. With their fine flour, oils, and honey they had the materials, and with their professional bakers they had the skills. In the plays of Aristophenes (5th century BC) there are mentions of sweetmeats including small pastries filled with fruit.>>

The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple-tart.

a Pie (not to be confused with Pye) is a pastry filled with fruit or anything else with a top pastry lid slapped over it, brushed with milk or beaten egg, sprinkled with caster sugar and two slits or fork pricks made to allow steam to escape.
Oh almost forgot, before brushing you have people like me standing there humming away biting my tongue as I attempt to make pretty leaves or apple shapes with the leftover pastry to decorate the pie top.
