The phrase "Mary was as sweet as a pie" is a simile. This is because it uses "as" to directly compare Mary's sweetness to that of a pie, highlighting her pleasant nature through this figurative expression. Metaphors, on the other hand, would state that Mary is a pie, rather than comparing her to one.
