A Great Nation's Favorite

“As American as apple pie.”

The saying above clearly showcases how the classic apple pie played its role in American history.  It is probably the most patriotic yet mouthwatering phrase for an American.  You might think that apple pie is just a tasty ol’ pastry, but its way more than that; it brings with it a rich bite of American culture which every American would surely recognize in their hearts. 

Apple pie doesn’t just represent a genuine American dish, it is tradition itself; every slice signifies a sentiment of a true American heart.  The nationalistic quote “As American as apple pie” turns out to be a shortened phrase for “As American as motherhood and apple pie”. A seven-worded phrase which is more than enough to describe American way of life and the significance of motherhood for each of them.  The quote was made to stir the hearts of the great nation’s citizens and to give that feel-good wholesome American sentiment.  Apple pies didn’t immediately come out as THE American apple pie; it actually earned the title from years of innovation, multicultural influence, and good taste.  It shows how American an apple pie really is.
