40 irresistible pie recipes

Humans have been making pie for millennia. Archeologists uncovered a recipe for chicken pie carved into a stone tablet that dates back to 2000 B.C., and there's firm evidence that Ancient Greeks developed the pie pastry we use today.

The food's longevity makes perfect sense when you consider just how close to perfect it is: pie comes wrapped in its own edible packaging and can be stuffed with a host of different fillings, from sweet to savory, that can meet every type of dietary need.
