Apple Pie

Cultural Context

Apple pie is a quintessential American dessert, often associated with home and comfort. It has roots in European pie-making traditions but has evolved into a symbol of American culture, famously referred to as 'as American as apple pie.' It is commonly served during holidays like Thanksgiving and is enjoyed year-round.
