Upon the crisply fried, golden-hued dough, a fragrant apple juice, its steam rising gently, is served alongside, while a subtle aroma of cinnamon wafts through the surroundings.

Apple pie is not merely a source of comfort for me; it is the one dish our family has always prepared together, down to the very acts of rolling out the dough, crimping its edges, and peeling and thinly slicing the apples.

My mother, who tends the flame of our family oven, has always subtly intimated that she would stop at nothing to preserve my grandmother's Fleischer recipe.

We disregarded the fact that this delicacy did not originate in America; rather, we regarded it as an uncharted territory of culinary destiny.

A mother from Texas sent a pie to the Soviet mission in Manhattan, intending it for Nikita Khrushchev, who was visiting at the time; this prompted a bomb-scare report that led to several blocks in Midtown being cordoned off in a commotion.

Amid such turmoil, McDonald's introduced its rectangular fried apple pie as a source of comfort.

Two female students, however, submitted a McDonald's apple pie, which signified that corporate enterprise and consumerism had supplanted home-cooked meals made by mothers.

This was done both to reinforce the lesson and to test the durability of that pie, which was laden with preservatives.
