Edit: read further. Maple taffy, the kind you make yourself by pouring fresh hot maple syrup on snow. I’ve only had it once, you kind of twirl it up on a stick.

Honestly for France I’d have first thought of riz au lait before the crème brûlée. Or something like mille feuilles. Or many other pâtisseries. Crème brûlée is nice but I feel (maybe mistakenly) that the rest of the world obsesses over it more than we do.

Also: Brasil, bolo de macaxeira/aipim/mandioca (three names, same thing). The moister the better.
When I was a kid, I contributed to my grandmother and church friend’s Apple our production line by gathering all the apples in her yard and bringing them in. The church ladies would prep the apples while grandma made the flakiest, most delicious pie crust and then the pies would be assembled. Most went in the freezers of everyone participating but a couple went straight in the oven to be served a la mode. Grandma would pop one in the oven for dessert when the family gathered, in the winter there was a little ray of summer sunshine in every bite.
Apple pie with terroir; there is nothing better. Fight me!

Not flashy or sugary enough for a restaurant menu probably. But I have fond memories of my ma cooking it for Samhain growing up. Eaten fresh out the oven with Irish butter.
My parents were pretty hippy and pagan and my mom was a Wiccan so I ate a lot of simple fruit and oat based cakes and loafs growing up.
Sticky toffee pudding is so good. I don’t just eat sticky toffee pudding. We are having a deep, sensual, borderline illegal encounter. If you hear moaning, just mind your business and keep your whites away from the toffee sauce. It stains.

US, but specifically Oregon, so I’m going to say marionberry pie.

Greek- easy to say baklava. It’s the most well known. The lesser known ones like galaktoboureko, bougatsa and loukoumades will wow anyone and make you wonder why they aren’t as popular.

For the US? I’d say smores, to be honest. I think it’s the most quintessential American dessert.
