In Christian tradition, the tree of good and evil bore fruit that was often represented as apples. Eve being tempted by the serpent ate the forbidden fruit, often identified as an apple, and with that the concept of original sin was born. Consequently, the apple can symbolize temptation, human downfall and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge.

4. Knowledge and Wisdom: In some cultures, the apple is considered a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. This can be related to its round shape and the connotation of maturity and fullness that the fruit acquires when it is ready to be picked.

5. Abundance and Prosperity: Due to their abundance and variety, apples have often been associated with symbols of abundance and prosperity. This interpretation is related to the ability of apples to grow in different regions and their importance as a staple food in the human diet.
