Only one tree was forbidden. The Talmud quotes three opinions as to its species: fig, wheat, or grapevine. (No Jewish source names it as apples.)

The more modern New Living Translation (2007) says: "The LORD God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground--trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
If you read the entire verse, you'll see he made more than 2 trees grow. Two of them just happened to be named specifically because they're important.

The second tree was the Tree of Life. So that Adam would not eat from this tree and become immortal like the gods (this pericope was written long before the advent of monotheistic Judaism), God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden and placed cherubim and a flaming sword to 'keep' or block the path back to the Tree of Life (Genesis 3:24).

∙ 8y agoGenesis 2:17 explicitly forbids Adam to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but does not forbid him to eat of the Tree of Life. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that this can be explained because Adam would not have been aware of his own mortality and would therefore not have been interested in eating from the Tree of Life.
After Adam had eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, he then knew that one day he would die. He also knew that the fruit of the Tree of Life would give him immortality. God drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and placed cherubim and a flaming sword at the entrance to keep or block the path to the Tree of Life (Genesis 3:24). This was the second tree forbidden to them.
