I dunno, I'm British and I didn't hear the term until a few years ago. It's just not a phrase that means anything much to us.

hence the "most" in the comment. not everyone's heard of it. but those I know, and those I've spoken to, do know it. I realise that's a flimsy defense (my british friends totally know the phrase and confirmed it's well known!! also i have a girlfriend!! she lives in China!!), but this is the truth based on the evidence I have at hand. :)

Oh well if a handful of people have heard it....

haha, fair enough! i asked if it was a generally well known phrase, and was told that it was. but i admit my sample size was only three people; not generally enough for good concrete evidence. :)

Knowing it and it meaning anything are two different things though. I've heard it but doesn't mean I suddenly looked at my dessert and thought 'oh, it's American!'. Like no, that's not how that works.

ah, sorry if was unclear. I'm not saying that of course EVERYONE KNOWS apple pie is AMERICAN AND ONLY AMERICAN! but that it's not stupid to think that a british contestant on a british show doing a segment about american pies would possibly maybe somehow have once heard of the phrase "american as apple pie"

seriously not meaning to continue the weird debate above
