About Fruit pie

Fruit pie is a traditional baked dessert widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world, with origins tracing back to medieval Europe where pies became a staple dish. Typically baked with a flaky crust and filled with cooked fruits such as apples, berries, peaches, or cherries, fruit pie can be both a comfort food and a source of essential nutrients. The nutritional profile varies based on the filling and crust but generally includes carbohydrates from the crust and dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the fruits. Fruits contribute natural sugars, while the pie may also contain added sugars and fats depending on its preparation method.
