Apple pie is an iconic and beloved classic dessert from America. It is the personification of the song, “American Pie” by Don McClean. The song is about things that happened in American pop culture, and it takes the listener through a timeline of American nostalgia with the chorus that sings, “Bye Bye Miss American Pie.” Apple pie crossed the Atlantic with the pilgrims. Back then, pies were used as an economical and sustainable food source that fed the hungry immigrants.
The Pilgrims brought apple spurs with them to the New World when the trees began producing fruit, and apple became the most popular pie filling in America. If you go to any diner in America, you can order a slice of fresh apple pie, and you can even get it a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and have it with a cup of hot coffee to warm up your taste buds.
