Apple pie was a popular food in homes in the United States in the eighteenth century, just before the European colonization of America. In order to distinguish between the old Americans and the new immigrants, they would say: "American like apple pie" which meant "typical American" .
In the 19th and 20th centuries the apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride.
The newspapers wrote that during the Second World War, when journalists asked the American soldiers why they were going to war, their answer was: "For Mom and for Apple Pie".
In 1970, advertisers used an advertising jingle in the patriotic essay: "Baseball, Hotdogs, Apple Pie and Chevy."
