A common stereotype of schools is the Teacher's Pet giving the teacher a shiny red apple as a token of appreciation. Sometimes it's given to them directly in front of the whole class, or it can be placed on the teacher's desk in secret and anonymously. A common variation is the class clown (or, conversely, the class bully) giving an apple with a worm inside to gross them out. A variation of this variation is to play a joke on the teacher by giving them an apple with gummie worm candies inside. Another common variation is for the student to give the teacher a chocolate-dipped, candy-coated apple as a Halloween, Christmas, and/or Valentine's Day gift (this works best during the winter, as the heat of the warmer summer, late spring, and early fall temperatures would cause the chocolate coating to melt). Further variations include giving the teacher apple pie, apple cider, or apple-flavored ice cream and/or frozen yogurt instead of actual regular apples in their purest traditional form. Sometimes some other type of fruits appear as yet another variation, best if it's traditional fruit from the kids' (or their parents') gardens like pears or plums. Apples, pears, and plums are traditionally harvested in autumn, which makes them ideal gifts for teachers at the beginning of the school year. The trope seems to originate in a rule or a law from some communities: the village or town and its people were responsible for providing food for their local teacher. Giving the teacher plain, traditional apples is now somewhat of a Discredited Trope, but the apple is still strongly associated with teachers (at least those teaching in elementary schools). Arguably could become a Dead Horse Trope fairly soon. |

Bad Teacher: This is something of an Achilles' Heel to Amy, an enthusiastic but somewhat childish teacher who is seen handing out apples to her students. Elizabeth, the titular bad teacher, exploits the trope and uses this against Amy by slipping an apple onto Amy's desk after rubbing a poison ivy leaf all over it. The next morning, Amy takes a bite and naturally, her skin has a horrible reaction to the poison. Amy gets quarantined from the field trip. | |

Gilmore Girls: When Rory is pressed into service as Jess's tutor, he tries to charm her by making an apple appear from behind a dish towel with a bit of Stage Magic; an apology for trying to weasel out of the tutoring and annoying her. It meets a No-Sell to his face, but once he leaves to get his books, her expression reveals she was secretly pleased by it. | |

A.P. Bio: The main character is an aggressively Apathetic Teacher who is often shown eating an apple. His first act upon getting to the class each day is to tell his students, "Start shutting up now!" and tossing his half-eaten core at the trash can (usually missing). The poster for the show has him biting into an apple. | |

Professor Branestawm: In "An Apple for the Teacher", the Professor's housekeeper's sister Aggie's little girl Esme decides she wants to take her teacher an apple after reading that kids in America do so. The teacher doesn't like apples, but she's too polite to refuse and figures she can give it to her brother. Unfortunately, the idea soon spreads to all of Esme's classmates... then the whole school... then every school in Pagwell, resulting in chaos as the shops start running out of apples, while the schools are accumulating thousands of them. An attempt to solve both problems at once the obvious way creates a new problem, as soon the same apples are being circulated round and round until they rot; the Professor tries to solve this problem by inventing lifelike plastic apples, but this also creates a new problem as people occasionally want to, you know, eat apples. Then the problem abruptly goes away by itself as the kids get bored with the apple thing and decide they're not doing it anymore. The adults breathe a collective sigh of relief... and then Esme takes an orange to school for the teacher. | |

One episode of El Chavo del ocho starts with multiple students arriving to Professor Girafales' class and giving him apples, except fat boy Ñoño, who gives him a watermelon. At the end comes El Chavo, who is crying. When asked why, he says that he bought the professor an apple, but got hungry and ate it, and proceeds to put the apple core on the desk. Professor Girafales, knowing of Chavo's way of life, tells him it's okay. Then Chavo mentions that he bought two. He proceeds to put a second apple core. The professor says it's still okay. Then Chavo asks "What if they were three?". When the professor, again, says it's okay, Chavo takes one of the apples from the desk and says "Thank you". | |

In "SquidBob TentaclePants," Sandy demonstrates her teleporter by teleporting an apple. It ends up on Mrs. Puff's desk, as she is pleasantly surprised. Exaggerated in "Teacher's Pests", when Mr. Krabs and Plankton force-feed Mrs. Puff various fruits to get on her good side. At one point, Plankton pours a bagful of apple seeds down her throat, resulting in an entire apple tree growing from inside her. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Cheerilee's desk is often seen with an apple. It's possible that it came from Apple Bloom. Happens metaphorically in "Hearts and Hooves Day," when the Cutie Mark Crusaders try to hook up Cheerilee with Big Macintosh, who has a half-apple for a cutie mark. Being a teacher starting in Season 8, Twilight is often given an apple from one of her students. |

Little Bear: In one episode, Little Bear and Emily set up a school for the animals. Early on, the trope is lampshaded, with Emily finding an apple and noting that the teacher usually just sets it on their desk, and is never actually seen eating it. | |

Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: in the Michel Lah-directed Droopy cartoon "Blackboard Jumble", the Droopies give the protagonist an apple outright labeled "apple for teacher"...and from which protrudes a burning wick, so he simply pulls the wick out and takes a bite. A second later, the bite explodes, leaving smoke from his ears. He looks dumbfounded at the wick...which explodes too, ashfacing him. Then the apple explodes. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Doppelgangland" begins with Percy and Snyder browbeating Willow into tutoring Percy on his homework assignment on President Roosevelt (for tutoring, read "Willow doing it for him"). Then Percy meets Vampire Willow in the Bronze. The episode ends with Percy handing Willow file after file of work, double the amount required (turns out there were two President Roosevelts), and topping it all off with an apple. | |
