Now...If you are referring to typical American Food as in north american recipes...

Succotash

New England clam chowder

Texan chili con carne (contrary to popular beliefs this is not a mexican recipe)

Peanut butter

Apple butter

Desserts such as:

Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, Pecan pie, peach pie, sweet potato pie, etc.

Angels food cake, Devil's food cake, Brownies...and many more...

And there are a loong line of etceteras to this

And those considered the most typical of american foods which are really not american in origin:

Hamburgers, originally from Germany...

"French Fries" which are not from France, but from Belgium

Hot dogs, franfurters come from Frankurt Germany or Wieners from Viena, Austria

And the humble Sandwich,  by that name... was presumably invented in the XVIIIth century  by the chef of the Earl of Sandwich in England, so the earl could enjoy something to eat during an evening of cards with friends without dirtying his fingers and subsequently the cards! Though food served on slabs of bread goes back to ancient times...

Any good cooking website such as epicurious.com or allrecipes.com will give you hundreds of typically american recipes that are delicious.
