Piekins

Piekins are a type of pie that are typically small, round, and baked in a muffin tin. They are often associated with American cuisine and are commonly served as a dessert or a snack. The term "piekin" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century, with the first known use in print appearing in 1897. Piekins are typically made with a sweet filling, such as fruit, custard, or chocolate, and are often topped with a layer of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They are often served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Piekins are a popular choice for picnics, potlucks, and other social gatherings, as they are easy to transport and can be eaten with minimal mess. Despite their small size, piekins are a beloved treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
