It might not be quite as American as apple pie (as the saying goes, even thought the dish pre-dates the US), but cherry pie is still a favourite dish and also a traditional American dessert.
This is a pie made with a cherry filling. There are two main types of cherries, tart and sweet, and tart cherries are traditionally used in cherry pie, which give a tarter taste to the finished pie, and how sweet it is is easier to control.
This is a traditional dish in North America, both the US and Canada, as well as Germany and Austria. This is a rather odd time of year to celebrate it, though; it's traditionally eaten at the height of the cherry season, which is July, not February. It can of course be refrigerated now, but it would have been expected that the day would fall in summer, not in winter.
Cherry pie is usually served with cream, whipped or pouring, or ice cream.
