Apple pie may well be the ultimate death weapon in this show. 'Cos, come on, a pie. And an apple. You know, the Devil's instrument of the human race corruption.
With this in mind, the expression "apple-pie life" (a metaphor of poster-like happy family life) immediately acquires a rather sinister connotation. No wonder Sam and Dean normally hate this notion. "All that apple-pie, family crap", to quote Sam in the episode "Swap Meat".
In the light of this interpretation, Sam's advice to Dean in "Swan Song" to go and have some apple-pie life with his girlfriend and her kid sounds pretty eerie. See, the Dean and Lisa relationship was doomed from the start! Kiddng.
