The source I have (A Good Eats episode of all things) just makes an offhand comment about the pilgrims not having any sugar and not being able to have sweet sauces.
They were also out of butter and flower, so no crusts and no pies.
They did eat lots of eel, cod, lobster and venison though, so that probably made up for the lack of pie in their minds.
