Considering that America is populated by people from all over the world
who all have their own culinary traditions, you are asking a lot.

I guess the most native cooking tradition is Creole, but since I am not
a fan of Creole cuisine, I can't provide any recipes.

There are also different foods that are common for certain holidays. For
example, the upcoming July 4th holiday has its old standards. July 4th
is America's Independence Day and a common way to ring in that holiday
is to have a cookout with lots of barbecued meats such as hamburgers,
ribs, chicken, macaroni salad, potato salad, corn on the cob, with water
mellon and apple pie for dessert.

If I have to pick one dessert that typifies American cuisine, it would
be Apple pie with vanilla ice cream, or just apple pie alone, but other
countries such as England also enjoy apple pie, so I can't say its
unique to here.
