Twinkies are pretty famous, lots of movies/shows have them, but I've never tried any, too.
That second image though.
By that logic, did you know that tempura would actually be a Portuguese dish? It was made by portuguese immigrants I think on good friday, when they couldn't eat red meat or something like that.
I posted Chicken Parm earlier, an American dish. Its sibling, Spaghetti with meatballs is also American, not Italian. Jambalaya is certainly American as well.
I'd bet there are tons of TexMex dishes that are clearly American. Fajitas are American, I think.
If you think Corn dogs aren't American, here's what you can do.

Buffalo wings (and boneless buffalo wings) are American Sloppy Joes are clearly American. Cincinnati Chili is an American dish made by Macedonian immigrants.
Plenty of "Chinese" dishes are also American, General Tso's Chicken
Chicken fried steak - who the fuck would think that isn't American?! Philly cheese steak - tons of meat, grease, cheese. No shit, it's American!
If we're getting into desserts, I'd bet: pecan pie, s'mores, german chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, shoofly pie, key lime pie, fortune cookies, Boston cream pie, fudge, cronuts
EXACTLY! It's amazing to see how foods change as they move to different places! Any dish in any country is usually based on another similar dish. Each of those is probably close to something from somewhere else.
For example, chicken parm is American, but Eggplant parm is Italian.
Sometimes different foods are similar, sometimes the same food are different.
It's very common for a dish to have many variations, not just in fillings and such, but in different main ingredients, techiniques and cooking steps overall.
Pizza here in Brazil is probably different from pizza in the US, which is very different from the original pizza recipe all the way back to I don't know when.
And it's very cool!
Gen Tsos chicken is based on a Taiwanese dish which is similar, which paid homage to the original General Tsos favorite food, which was chicken and hot peppers. If you ever get the chance look up a short documentary called "Searching for General Tso" just over an hour long and really fascinating.
