The filling for american apple pie did originate from Britain. However, the original British crust was hard, flavorless and not meant to be eaten. The flaky buttery crust used on American apple pie came from Germany immigrants (with some French influence). The most well known version of American apple pie is a mix of the two countries methods for preparing apple pie. As well, a less common but still widely available version of American apple pie is made with a strudel topping. The strudel topping came from Dutch immigrants. So that version is a fusion of British and Dutch apple pie recipes. So in summary while the filling in America apple pie came from British immigrants, the particular crust filling combination in American apple pie recipes is a fusion of multiple pie styles that took place in America due to the close proximity of immigrants from several European countries.
