The apple pie (alongside mom, of course) became the symbolic food of a nation

Flaky, golden crust. Apple juices bubbling through its vents. The scent of cinnamon. Apple pie is my comfort food, and the only thing my family always cooks together: rolling the dough, fluting the crust’s edges, peeling and chopping the apples. My mom, the keeper of our oven’s flame, has hinted she would commit heinous acts to keep her Grandma Fleischer’s recipe secret. When my then-girlfriend came home for the first time and we baked a pie, my mom informed her that now she’d have to marry me. (She did, perhaps fearing just desserts.) Never mind that the delicacy didn’t originate in America; we claimed it as gastronomic manifest destiny. Colonists brought over apples, Johnny Appleseed spread them far afield and we became an apple pie nation. “Mom and apple pie” — shorthand for beloved, quintessential Americana — appears repeatedly in Associated Press stories from the last century.
