Who invented the first cherry pie?

The exact person who invented the first cherry pie is not known, but cherry pies have been around for centuries. Early cherry pies were believed to have originated in England, where they were originally called "cherry tarts". The first known documented recipe for a cherry pie dates back to 1545 in the cookbook "The Forme of Cury", which was written for King Henry VIII. These early cherry pies were made with a sour cherry filling and were often served with cream. Over time, the recipe spread throughout Europe and became popular in the United States as well.
