What's more quintessentially American - cherry or apple pie? Hard to say, especially when you've got George Washington on one side and Johnny Appleseed on the other. This dramatic cherry version comes from reader Stephanie. Read on for another photo, the recipe for her Election Cherry Pie, and links to our election coverage from the last presidential election.
Stephanie's Election Cherry Pie is an adaptation of her Buckeye Cherry Pie from last winter's Bittersweet Baking Contest. She won an Honorable Mention for Best Bittersweet Story. (College sports were involved.)

Very colorful!
Cherries are native to Asia while apples are native to here, I vote apple---still the pie is impressive.
No, I'm wrong apples are native to Asia too so neither one is very American.
Hmm - maybe sweet potato pie should displace both?
those cookies look awesome!!
I'm going to go with pecan.
Apples are not native to here- they are native to Central Asia. :)
Nothing more American than artificially colored food… ;)
Blueberries are a native fruit - how about those for a pie?
...or pawpaw pie!
I went with salted caramel apple for today!

Also an American dessert to go with your pie: bourbon.
