Trivia: while the phrase “American as apple pie” is a thing, it’s something of a misnomer. Apples aren’t New World, and apple pie was a thing prior to Europeans heading over to the Americas.

Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists.

Originating in the 14th century in England, apple pie recipes are now a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow.

Apple pie was brought to the colonies by the English, the Dutch, and the Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Although originating in England and eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase “as American as apple pie” describes something as being “typically American”.[31][32] In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A newspaper article published in 1902 declared that “No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished.”[33] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase “for Mom and apple pie”—supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war. Jack Holden and Frances Kay sang in their patriotic 1950 song “The Fiery Bear”, creating contrast between this symbol of U.S. culture and the Russian bear of the Soviet Union:

We love our baseball and apple pie
We love our county fair
We’ll keep Old Glory waving high
There’s no place here for a bear

Maybe we should use “American as chocolate chip cookies” — those were invented in the US.
