Mock apple pie is one of those Midwestern recipes from the days before refrigerated shipping, like tuna noodle casserole or Jell-O salad, that you could make from cheap, shelf-stable ingredients but still approximated something that would usually be out-of-season or too expensive to make.  It has a proud heritage, even if it's completely pointless to make nowadays.

This episode is the second place I've seen a sauce for meat made from a combination of mustard and grape jelly. Apparently it was a thing in the 1950s.

I feel like I really have seen it happen, maybe even tasted it, but every time I reach back in my memory and try to dredge up when it was or what it tasted like if I ate it, it's gone. Come on I have to have run across the jelly/mustard thing in at least one awful Midwestern basement party but when was it : /

Maybe this is one of those situations where your mind is trying to protect you by keeping you from realizing the truth. Like Lovecraft.

Maybe, but how do you find yourself with spare cucumbers but no apples?

Because it's much easier to grow squashes/gourds in your garden than apples and you can't grow them in quantities in less than "oh god how am I going to get rid of all these".
Which is to say that I grew up eating a lot of zucchini based faux apple pies.

Most adorable stinger ever!

The "fudge" in the first recipe reminds me of a wider horrible trend in desserts I discovered recently, which I can only describe as "white trash versions of more complicated and sophisticated food". The example that comes to mind is this abominable so-called truffle dessert which is just cream cheese and Oreos crushed and rolled into a ball, completely disregarding the meaning of the word truffle in the confectionery sense.

That sounds slightly better than the Sandra Lee version which is literally cake frosting and vanilla extract i think.
