The apple is often referred to as the "fruit of life". 


In Greek mythology, Heracles was required to travel to the island of Hesperides and pick an apple from the Tree Of Life.


Adam and Eve ate the apple............


The following is from Wikipedia:

"The notion of the apple as a symbol of sin is reflected in artistic renderings of the fall from Eden. When held in Adam's hand, the apple symbolises sin. But, when Christ is portrayed holding an apple, he represents the Second Adam who brings life. This difference reflects the evolution of the symbol in Christianity. In the Old Testament, the apple was significant of the fall of man; in the New Testament, it is an emblem of the redemption from that fall. The apple is represented in pictures of the Madonna and Infant Jesus as another sign of that redemption."
