Celebrate it by serving an Iconic American dish the “Apple pie”, nothing gets American as this. I guess everyone would know what an Apple pie is but to further describe it, it is a fruit pie that uses Bramley or Granny Smith apples then often served with whipped cream or ice cream on top.

Though apple pie is believed to be American, this pie already existed since the 14th century in England. Initially the ingredients used are apples, spices, figs, raisins, pears and saffron. There was no sugar on the traditional recipe as sugar is so expensive during those days. The Dutch style apple pie (appeltaart or appelgebak) then emerged during the 17th century where ingredients such as cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar were introduced. The lattice style top was also popularized during this era. In the 18th century seeds were brought from England to America in the intention of growing apples in the region (apples are not native in American region), they waited for the trees to grow and bear fruits, first harvest came in and the American style apple was born, since then it became really popular in the region especially as a dessert.

A really good sweet pie that can be served hot or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream. I love mine cold with ice cream, how would you like yours? Are there any pairings for this pie that you can share, weird ones can be accepted, I know there is?
