Apple pie, often viewed as the quintessential American dessert, actually has its origins and ingredients traced back to multiple cultures across the globe. Far from being a native food, apples themselves were not found in the Americas until after European colonization. The first apples arrived with French Jesuits in the 1500s, and the techniques and recipes for apple pie evolved from diverse culinary traditions. This history exemplifies how modern food reflects the rich tapestry of cultural influences woven into the American experience.
From the ingredients to the techniques, every bit of the iconic dessert was originally imported from somewhere else in the world.
When you really look at it, all modern food is derived from vast amounts of cultural sharing through human history.
