Well we do have myths about a fruit that we've been eating for 7000 years, apples are a symbol of wisdom, there are legends surrounding certain areas and varieties, but it's trivial. The US is 18 times the land mass of France and yet only has three times the area dedicated to apple orchards. Sure, there are more cultivars in North America, but are there really many more varieties available to the public than the 50-100 varieties everyone knows ? Claiming apple pies are American is plain silly, it's like claiming blowjobs were invented in Hungary. I understand that apples are important in America, but they're absolutely not a uniquely American thing. There are apple festivals all over in the fall, every mother has a recipe for apple pie and apple sauce... You can claim whatever you want about pumpkins, those are American, but apples are first and foremost Eurasian.
