In the story of Adam and Eve why is the forbidden fruit always depicted as an apple? The story itself just says fruit. Unfortunately, the answer you get when...
Interesting video. I think I’ve heard of it as an apple growing up in a Christian household.
Semi related, but I enjoy the Gnostic interpretation of the Forbidden Fruit story, in which the Serpent (aka Lucifer) tempts Eve with the fruit of knowledge to achieve Gnosis, so she may learn the true meaning of their existence (the understanding that God is not their true creator). This paints Lucifer as the hero and God, or Yaldabaoth in Gnosticism, as the villain.
