Apple Pie Is SO Un-American

The iconic American apple pie isn't so American. How did it become a symbol of America's national identity and patriotism? In fact, apple trees weren’t even native to North America until the Europeans arrived. Only crab apples grew on the continent; shrunken and sour, they were barely used for eating, let alone for pastry.
