Apple Pie Rules

Last week was Pie Week on NPR, and I missed it.  :/

Thankfully, we have the Internet now, and I can catch things I missed on "Morning Edition."  Here's one thing:  Apple pie is the most popular pie in America.  It's not surprising, really, given that we use the phrase "As American as apple pie" in everyday parlance.  Well, marketers use it, anyway, and perhaps now we know why: because it's true!

This is the complete Top 5 Pies list:

1. Apple
2. Pumpkin
3. Cherry
4. Blueberry
5. Dutch apple

It seems rather silly to me that apple is on there twice, so now I'm going to give you the results of NPR's pie survey, which produced slightly different results:

1. Apple
2. Strawberry rhubarb
3. Pumpkin
4. Cherry
5. Blueberry

That's more like it!
