The apple story is apocryphal, meaning "of dubious authenticity", or "an interesting story or fable". The story was that Newton was sitting underneath an apple tree when an apple fell next to him. This prompted him to consider that while he knew that things DID fall, he didn't know WHY, or what the mechanism was. He ought to be able to figure out what the force on the apple was.
One of the most famous anecdotes in the history of science involves an apple. It is the popular story that Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head, and when this happened, he suddenly thought of the Universal Law of Gravitation.
The apple did nothing to Sir Isaac Newton. We are not sure that that even happened. The story goes that when Sir Isaac Newton was in a garden he saw a apple tree fall. That is supposedly when he discovered gravity.
Issac Newton as he discovered gravity with apples falling from a tree.
