While other pies have a historical note to them, such as routing themselves from medieval Europe in the local bakeries, this pie came from a more modern source; a video game. The game this pie is featured in is called Undertale. Released back in 2015, Undertale is a pixel-style role playing RPG game developed by the indie-game artist Toby Fox. The game itself features the setting of a human child fallen into the underground world of monsters separated by a magical barrier. As the game continues, your character is set itself in choice-driven scenarios that help dictate the kind of ending you get.
So, where does the pie come in? The notorious butterscotch cinnamon pie makes its debut in the scene where your character meets Toriel, a monster of motherly nature. Toriel takes you into their home and as part of making you feel comfortable, feed you this lovely pie that fills you with determination. When the game became a popular sensation back in 2016, fans who love the game aimed to recreate the pie, and turns out, it really was delicious as it sounded. Hence came forth Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie Day, a day dedicated to this pie as well as the creation of the Undertale fandom.
