“As American as apple pie” is a well known patriotic phrase that typically gets wrapped together with major national holidays, the stars and stripes, and Mom. Apple pie is a deliciously good symbol, but not only because of the flaky crust and sweet, fruity filling. Interestingly, the classic pie recipe and ingredients are derived from many places around the world -- the Netherlands, England, the Middle East, France, Germany, and as far away as Sri Lanka and Indonesia. So, this American pie is quite literally a melting pot.
