Description of the Fruit
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?dbid=15&tname=foodspice
Apples are a crisp, white-fleshed fruit with a red, yellow or green skin.

Fruit and vegetables contained the right mix of antioxidants for a healthy immune system.
Apples have a moderately sweet, refreshing flavor and a tartness that is present to greater or lesser degree depending on the variety. For example, Golden and Red Delicious apples are mild and sweet, while Pippins and Granny Smith apples are notably brisk and tart. Tart apples, which best retain their texture during cooking, are often preferred for cooked desserts like apple pie, while Delicious apples and other sweeter varieties like Braeburn and Fuji apples are usually eaten raw.

Seedling apples are an example of "Extreme heterozygotes". They are different from their parents, sometimes radically.

Most new apple cultivars originate from seedlings. Apples can also form bud sports (mutations on a single branch). Some bud sports turn out to be improved strains of the parent cultivar. Some differ sufficiently from the parent tree to be considered new cultivars.

Breeders can produce more rigid apples through crossing. For example, the Excelsior Experiment Station of the University of Minnesota has, since the 1930s, introduced a steady progression of important hardy apples that are widely grown, both commercially and by backyard orchardists, throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. Its most important introductions have included 'Haralson' (which is the most widely cultivated apple in Minnesota), 'Wealthy', 'Honeygold', and 'Honeycrisp'.

Pollination
Apples are self-incompatible; they must cross-pollinate to develop fruit.

During the flowering each season, apple growers usually provide pollinators to carry the pollen.

Honeybee hives are most commonly used. Orchard mason bees are also used as supplemental pollinators in commercial orchards. Bumble bee queens are sometimes present in orchards, but not usually in enough quantity to be significant pollinators.

Apple in religion, mythology and folktales
Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical or forbidden fruit. One of the problems identifying apples in religion, mythology and folktales is that the word "apple" was used as a generic term for all (foreign) fruit, other than berries but including nuts, as late as the 17th century.

Mythology

Mythology
The Apple was regarded as the fruit of immortality in Celtic Mythology. The Welsh 'Avalon' means 'Apple Island' and is considered synonymous with TÃr na nÓg in Irish Mythology and Emain Abhlach 'The Island of Apples'. The soul of Cu Roi Mac Daire was imprisoned in an apple that resided in the stomach of a salmon which appeared once every seven years. An apple tree grew over the grave of the tragic lover Ailinn. Cúchulainn followed the trail of a magical apple to gain his freedom in one story. Connla the son of Conn is fed an apple by a fairy lover which sustains him but also makes him fall hopelessly in love with her. One of the tasks of the children of Tuirenn is to retrieve the magical apples of the Hesperides.

The Greek goddess of discord, Eris, became disgruntled after she was excluded from the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. In retaliation, she tossed a golden apple inscribed Kalliste (Kalliste), 'For the most beautiful one', into the wedding party. Three goddesses claimed the apple: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Paris of Troy was appointed to select the recipient. After being bribed by both Hera and Athena, Aphrodite tempted him with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. He awarded the apple to Aphrodite, thus indirectly causing the Trojan War.

Atalanta, also of Greek mythology, raced all her suitors in an attempt to avoid marriage. She outran all but Hippomenes (also known as Melanion, a name possibly derived from melon the Greek word for both "apple" and fruit in general), who defeated her by cunning, not speed. Hippomenes knew that he could not win in a fair race, so he used three golden apples (gifts of Aphrodite, the goddess of love) to distract Atalanta. It took all three apples and all of his speed, but Hippomenes was finally successful, winning the race and Atalanta's hand.

Solomon compares a loving relationship to a delightful treat of a surprise apple tree in the forest.Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest…
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste. (Song 2:3).)
Christianity
Serpent, the evil initiator, persuading Eve that the "Forbidden Fruit" holds the key to know-all (that is, to become like God. However he does not make known the risk clearly, causing all future generations to be considered as outcast from the kingdom of God.)

Though the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis is not identified, popular Christian tradition has held that it was an apple that Eve coaxed Adam to share with her. This may have been the result of Renaissance painters adding elements of Greek mythology into biblical scenes. In this case the unnamed fruit of Eden became an apple under the influence of story of the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides. As a result, in the story of Adam and Eve the apple became a symbol for knowledge, immortality, temptation, the fall of man into sin.
Eve coaxed Adam to share with her the forbidden fruit. Adam may appears skeptical but yield to SIN finally.

In Latin, the words for "apple" and for "evil" are similar in the singular (malus—apple, malum—evil) and identical in the plural (mala). This may also have influenced the apple becoming interpreted as the biblical "forbidden fruit".

The larynx in the human throat has been called Adam's apple because of a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit sticking in the throat of Adam.
The apple as symbol of sexual seduction has been used to imply sexuality between men.

The idea of an apple being the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil with English speakers may have been helped by the fact that apple could also be a generic word for fruit in Old English, the word being used in various commentaries on Genesis.

Apple trees have "perfect" flowers containing both male (pollen-producing) and female (ovary-containing) structures. To prevent inbreeding, however, a flower will rarely develop fruit with its own pollen. By planting two different apple tree cultivars that bloom at the same time, the bees will cross-pollinate them and your apples will be on their way. "Triploid" apple cultivars, such as 'Winesap' and 'Jonagold,' have an odd set of chromosomes, so their pollen is not viable. You'll need three different apple tree cultivars if you plant a triploid.)
