The apple became a symbol of American prosperity because apple tree seeds were successfully spread across the nation as opposed to propagation by grafting, which was the much more common method in Europe.

Kind of like how Canada is associated with (or "claimed") maple leaves, despite the large majority of maple species being native to Asia and very culturally significant over there.
