• According to the American Pie Council,
  approximately 700 million in pies, or 186
  million units of apple pie, is sold in grocery
  stores every year. That's a lot of pie! In
  addition, if you lined up the number of pies sold
  at U.S. grocery stores in one year, they would
  circle the globe and then some. Many suppliers
  sell thousands of units in bulk to grocery stores
  to fill the need. God bless this country.

• Although apple pie is an iconic American dish,
  this delicious dessert is not American, and
  neither are the apples. Apples originated in
  Asia. The Europeans brought their apple cuttings
  and seeds when traveling to the New World. Apple
  trees became a part of the colonist lifestyle
  because owners had to "improve" the land, or the
  land would be confiscated as a stipulation for
  owning land. Planting apple trees and setting up
  small orchard suppliers was the quickest way to
  secure the land they traveled far for.
  Eventually, tklu.yo8iu9his method of improving
  their land resulted in apples becoming a
  commodity in the colonist market. The fruit
  market grew just as colonization did, and the
  need for suppliers to provide bulk seedlings
  became apparent. One nurseryman and entrepreneur
  stepped in to fill the need, John Chapman. Also
  known as Johnny Appleseed. Although he didn't
  roam the country barefoot, planting seedlings in
  bulk across the country, he did obtain land in
  bulk for orchards to provide the growing market
  with enough seedlings and soon became one of the
  fruit suppliers. It's similar but not as cute of
  a story as the one in our children's books.

• Now that we know how the fruit came to America,
  let's focus on the popular holiday dessert, apple
  pie, and how it became the icon in the U.S.
  today. The pie was not manufactured in bulk, as
  they are now. The first recorded apple pie recipe
  called for figs, raisins, pears, and even
  saffron. Most of which could not be obtained
  within American borders at the time. The written
  recipe was from England in the year 1381. No
  confirmed date has arisen for the first American
  apple pie, but the first two recipes appeared in
  the first American cookbook, American Cookery by
  Amelia Simmons, published in 1796. The dessert
  survived through the 19th century and the Civil
  War. No. I'm talking about Marvel. In 1902, a New
  York Times article argued the national importance
  of the dessert by stressing that the dessert had
  become the American equivalent for prosperity. In
  the 20th century, the dish became an icon of
  American desserts, and soon suppliers would begin
  selling units in bulk. Suppliers, such as grocery
  stores, were filled with various types of pies,
  and it became much easier for Americans to obtain
  the tasty dessert. The dish now represents
  patriotism and is served on Independence Day,
  Thanksgiving, and various holidays throughout the
  year.
