why is apple pie the most American dessert

Back in the 1600, when the colonists first arrived, the apple pie was one of the first dessert to be ever made in america, long before the first independence day. The colonist wanted to do their best to distance themselves from british culture. Instead of making traditional english desserts like (scones and pudding) they started to make a new dessert that was introduced to them by the dutch immigrants back in the 1700’s. Apple pie is often associated and ate during independence day (july 4th) to celebrate independence from britain, and is now dubbed the most american dessert.
