In a way, the Golden Apple was the catalyst. The ingredients were:
The marraige of Peleus and Thetis, which led to the birth of Achilles, and at which, Paris awarded the Golden Apple of Discord to Aphrodite.
The promise of Aphrodite to give Paris the most beautiful woman in the world as his bride.
The Oath of Tyndareus, which was that all of the suitors of Helen agreed that they each take an oath to defend the winner against anyone who wronged him.
If you really wanted to take the Trojan War back to a single point to place blame, the blame would go to Zeus, who gave Thetis to Peleus (Thetis was prophesied to have a son who would surpass his father - Zeus didn't want that, so he offered her to Peleus) and chose Paris as the judge of the contest between the goddesses.
