There are quite a few different stories about the making of pies. There were even times in history when pies were banned. This happened in 1644 under Oliver Cromwell. In England then, people were trying to move away from pagan beliefs. The statesmen decided that pies were one of the main manifestations of paganism.
Probably, the ban on pies had another reason, more political. It was quite easy to poison an unwanted ruler with baked goods. In any case, the ban on pies did not last long. People could not live without their favorite pastries.
In our time, pies are not forbidden, so we can prepare a delicious apple pie.
