Apples are very frequently used to symbolise temptations and lusts of many kinds. Often this is by indicating that a given choice of action is alluring but will have extensive harmful consequences later. When used as a character motif, it tends to signify someone who frequently offers such temptations or indulges in them. | |

One of the goals in Professor Layton and the Curious Village is the hunt for the village's great treasure, the Golden Apple. Turns out the Golden Apple is the late Baron's daughter Flora, who has an apple-shaped birthmark. | |

The opening titles of Desperate Housewives use an apple motif. A giant one with the show's name written on it falls on Adam (in the painting shown at the beginning) and the four main characters are shown catching apples at the end. Much of the show's promotional material also makes use of the motif. | |

In the Dragon Age fanfic Accursed Ones, the main character 'Amell' has an apple motif; 'Apple' is even his nickname. Amell is also a user and advocate for forbidden magics such as blood magic and demonology, which he constantly invites others to share. Anders finally accepts Amell's offer to learn blood magic at about the same point in the story that he enters into a sexual relationship with Amell. | |

Tokyo Ghoul: The One-Eyed Owl (as Eto Yoshimura) offers an apple to Kanae while explicitly referencing the temptation of Eve. Symbolically, the Owl is asking Kanae to join Aogiri Tree in exchange for power and the love of Master Shuu. The other Big Bad, Kichimura Wasshu, has also been drawn on the cover of :re Volume 6 holding an apple in a way clearly meant to evoke this trope. |

Advertising for Caprica made use of this theme, showing a naked Zoe Graystone (the first humanoid Cylon) holding only a bright red apple with a bite taken out of it. It's supposed to reflect humanity's temptation and hubris to create artificial life, metaphorically eating from the Tree of Knowledge. | |

Slimecicle Cinematic Universe: In "Minecraft, but every 5 minutes there's a natural disaster", Jschlatt (essentially the video's equivalent to God) offers Charlie a golden apple to ease his hunger. Charlie takes and eats it — and Schlatt ominously declares "[he] fucked up", disappears, and spends the rest of the video being a Jerkass God, offering more apples along the way. Naturally, the Biblical references are lampshaded. | |

In a Rocko's Modern Life episode spoofing multiple fairy tales, "Cinder-Heffer" gets tricked by a witch (played by Filburt) into eating a blue apple, washing it down with a potion, and finishing it off with a mysterious mint. Cinder-Heffer gets turned into a Pinocchio-like puppet, until the prince, Rocko, fits the witch's glass slippers on Cinder-Heffer's feet. | |

Gesta Danorum: On their way to Geirrodsgard, King Gorm and Thorkill are hosted by the giant Guthmundus. Thorkill however knows that any mortal who eats the food offered by Guthmund or who has intercourse with a woman of Guthmund's realm will lose his mind and can never leave Guthmund's realm again. After Guthmund has tried to trap them twice by inviting them to a feast, then by offering them his maidservants as concubines, he leads them to his garden and asks Gorm to try the fruits growing there. When he is foiled again by Gorm evading to accept the offer, Guthmund gives up and allows them to continue their voyage. | |

Employed in Men as one of the film's main riffs on Biblical Motifs. One of the first scenes of the film is one of the protagonist Harper helping herself to a morsel from the rented property's apple tree. To hammer it home, the property's caretaker, Geoffrey, later on scolds her for this, calling it "forbidden fruit", though he quickly claims that he is just joking. Even later, we see the mysterious naked man who appears to be stalking Harper taking an apple for himself while he is skulking around in the garden and watching the house. | |

The final Palace in Persona 5 Royal has a model of the Biblical Garden of Eden at the very top, with a gigantic tree at the center, bearing apples with bite marks on them. This symbolism is also alluded to in the very beginning, with said Palace's ruler having apple juice as his Trademark Favorite Food, and always keeping a box of it in his office. | |

In the latter half of the Soul Eater anime, Medusa, a snake witch, is associated with apples several times. One such moment is when Rachel, the child whose body she snatches by disguising herself as a cute dog, is watching an educational television program: A little girl reaching for a certain red fruit, which is then repeated several times: "An apple! An apple! An apple!" | |

In The Dragon Hoard, one of Jasleth's first attempts to seek his fortune is a (short-lived) job in an apple orchard, hoping to find that one of the apple trees bears magic apples or is an enchanted princess. Much later, he encounters a grove of magic fruit trees that grow fruit made of gold; the varieties mentioned include oranges, plums, damsons, and, inevitably, apples. | |

Garfield and Friends' parody of "Snow White" had Lanolin Sheep (wearing a purple hood and a basket of apples labeled "poison apples") offering a poison apple and openly saying it's poison note In foreign dubs of the episode, she says it's just an apple to Snow Wade while the other dwarves are still in the house. Just like in the story, Snow Wade then eats it and dies. His reason? "I'll accept anything that's free!" | |

In DC Nation, the apple of desire was passed around during the Olympics plot. Jesse Quick sees a world where her father's still alive. Donna Troy saw a world where she was reunited with her family, Titans and Terry Long. It is enough to shock Donna into realizing that she really wants to be with her living family and give up her dead children to Persephone's care so she can return to the Titans. | |

Death Note: Ohba, the writer, apparently requested apples just because he thinks they look cool. In continuity, however, Ryuk finds them addictive, and they're one of the things he enjoys about Earth - next to mass murder and Criminal Mind Games, which are also among the chief draws of the series for the audience. He receives all three from Light in exchange for power, which ultimately leads to Light's death. | |

In the last book of A Series of Unfortunate Events, an enormous apple tree grows in the middle of the arboretum of forbidden knowledge, and at a pivotal moment the Incredibly Deadly Viper offers one of its apples to the orphans because they have just realized the apples contain an antidote to the Medusoid Mycelium, but are too weakened by the fungus to get one for themselves, deliberately twisting an allusion to the Garden of Eden. | |

Doctor Strange is eating an apple when he sneaks into the library to try a Dangerous Forbidden Technique. As well as the Biblical Forbidden Fruit symbolism, he also reconstructs a missing page explaining the secret of immortality, as per Greek Mythology. | |

One Piece: Doc Q of the Blackbeard Pirates makes his appearance offering the unassuming people (And Luffy) of Mock Town apples. However, some of these apples, when bitten, explode! Luckily, Luffy got a normal apple. It's the Doc's weird way of testing out someone's fate. The Time Skip gives us SMILE fruits, artificial Devil Fruits of the Zoan class. These apples look like black apples with white dots, and if they work, they give their eater a partial animal transformation of variable usefulness. However, only 1/10 SMILEs even do that much. The other 9 just turn their eaters into a Perpetual Smiler, on top of losing their ability to swim. |

The first Sword of Truth book features a scene of the two leads sharing an apple in a rather sexy way, nearly leading Kahlan to lose control of her Confessor's power. There's also a mention early on that red apples are poisonous in Midland, courtesy of a D'Haran curse during the war. Red apples were chosen for being the most delicious-looking sort of fruit. |

The Bible: The Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Contrary to popular conception, The Bible does not, in fact, name the original Forbidden Fruit an "apple". Some researchers believe that it was Lost in Translation back in Ancient Rome, since "malus/malum" can mean both "evil" and "apple" in Latin. So, technically, the Biblical apple is likely a Fanon coupled with absorbing Greek notions of the Apple Of Discord. An alternate explanation for the 'Latin mistranslation' is that "apple" in English used to be a generic name for all fruit, and it changed its meaning. In fact, Judaism presents in the Talmud a rather large selection of possible contenders for the original fruit, stating that God deliberately did not identify it in the Bible so as not to cause a backlash against it (the fruit, after all, wasn't at fault here). The candidates include commonly known fruits in the Middle East (not apples), such as figs, dates, pomegranates, etrogs (a citrus fruit kind of like a giant, sweet lemon), and even wheat. Some say that given the climate of the supposed garden and the location scholars had given, the fruit was probably a pomegranate, this would have some added symbolism, including the legend that the pomegranate has 613 seeds, the same as the number of laws in the Torah. Fun fact: Carl von Linne, the creator of the Linnaean species naming system, was convinced that the Forbidden Fruit was a banana. That would certainly lend support to the "forbidden knowledge is carnal knowledge" interpretation (and Carl von Linne would have known it, too). Hieronymus Bosch, the Dutch painter, liked to use exotic (to him) oranges for his Forbidden Fruit. Probably partly because oranges are called sinaasappel (Chinese Apple) in Dutch. In Islam, the forbidden fruit is traditionally wheat. This has interesting implications, placing the Fall of Mankind as the agricultural revolution. Rousseau would be pleased, as he had much the same opinion. Some have also proposed the passionfruit. On the one hand, it just sounds so much more tempting than a plain old apple. On the other, it makes a clever call forward to Jesus, who had to basically Set Right What Once Went Wrong in the garden. Some have also proposed the quince, a large fruit that kind of resembles an apple (and is botanically related), but is not. |

In Enchanted, Queen Narissa sends Nathaniel to feed Giselle a poison apple. His botched attempts include giving her a caramel-coverednote the caramel forms a skull-shaped pattern, as Giselle apparently doesn't notice poison apple in honor of "Free Caramel Apple Day", and later brewing one into a martini, which he claims came from Giselle's secret admirer. Giselle accepts both of these, but different circumstances prevent her from ingesting them. Eventually, Narissa decides to poison Giselle herself and offers an apple she claims will erase Giselle's memories of experiencing heartbreak in New York. Giselle finally bites this one, but True Love's Kiss saves her from a permanent death. | |

In the Christian allegory The Faerie Queene, a false god's last offer to convince Guyon to worship him is to offer him a beautiful golden apple. The text identifies it as the same type of fruit that Eris used to kickstart the Trojan War. Despite having gone three days without food, Guyon refuses, and the narration assures us that it is only this that saved Guyon from certain death. | |

The Magician's Nephew, the prequel Narnia Creation Myth installment. There, the apples in question are silver and can cure any ailment. The protagonist is instructed to fetch one to plant as a ward to protect Narnia, but it occurs to him to steal it to give to his dying mother instead. He ultimately resists doing so, only for Aslan to give him another as a reward. It turns out that if he had stolen it, it would have worked - but only in a Be Careful What You Wish For kind of way. | |

Good Omens (2019): The series starts with Eve eating the Apple, followed by her and Adam leaving Eden. The snake who tempted her then slithers up to the angel who was supposed to be guarding the tree and strikes up a friendly conversation about it. Crowley (the snake, who found the name "Crawly" not distinguished enough) says that he was just told to "stir up some trouble", and finds the whole scenario a bit too on the nose, and doesn't see the problem with knowing the difference between Good and Evil anyway. Aziraphale (the angel) then reveals that he gave his flaming sword to Adam because they looked all sad and pathetic. It's implied very strongly that Aziraphale giving humanity a weapon was far worse in the long run than Crowley giving them knowledge. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Apples are Barbossa's Trademark Favorite Food, and his inability to taste them as an undead pirate in the first film is the most important consequence to him for his theft of the cursed Aztec gold. He also keeps them on hand at all times, to eat one as soon as he's free of the curse again, which allows Jack to mockingly eat one in front of him in order to goad him into making a deal. It's the temptation and the consequence all at once! When he finally returns from the dead at the end of Dead Man's Chest, naturally the first thing he does is eat one. | |

In the Armenian folktale The Liar (folktale), a king offered to give a golden apple to the biggest liar in the kingdom. Eventually a peasant wins the apple by using by stating that the king owed him a pot of gold. If the king denied it, then the peasant would win the lying contest. If the king didn't, well, he'd have to give the peasant the pot of gold. So the king parted with the golden apple instead. | |

One of several Adam & Eve metaphors in the BBC series Earthsearch. Darv and Astra have sex for the first time shortly after Darv offers her an apple. Unknown to them, their processed food has been laced with drugs to keep them in a state of sexual immaturity, but they inadvertently get round this by eating the food directly from the trees in the food gallery because it tastes better. In the Season 2 novelisation Earthsearch: Deathship, the protagonists are abducted from the planet Paradise after a bomb hidden in an apple sprays them with Knockout Gas (the radio series just has them gassed by a surgical droid). |
