Pi Day: The Top Pies in America

Today is “Pi Day,” because (well, you should know this if you’ve paid attention in math class) the first three digits of the “number” pi are 3.14 (It continues 3.1415926535 . . . and so on). Since there’s not much else to say about THAT pi, people are talking about the other more DELICIOUS type of pie. Instacart just revealed its most-ordered pies on the platform, and not surprisingly, Apple is #1 (29% of all pie deliveries are APPLE pies). Followed by Pumpkin pie (23%), and Pecan pie (9%). Another report from Google Trends looked at the most-searched “easy” and “gourmet” pie RECIPES. In the “easy” category, Chicken Pot pie is popular in most of the Midwest and South Central U.S., plus California.  Shepherd’s pie is big in Florida, New York, and out West (and a few northern states looked for Peanut Butter pie). In the “gourmet” category, the Central U.S., plus California, Alaska, and North Carolina are searching for Coconut Custard pie. Out West, people want some gourmet Pecan, and the Midwest is still looking for Chicken Pot pie and Shepherd’s pie.
