Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty
Yes, in a contest with Hera and Athena
According to the judgment of Paris (which led to the Trojan war) it was Aphrodite, whom he gave the Golden Apple marked TO THE FAIREST to. She is the goddess of love and beauty.The most beautiful Greek goddess is considered to be Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology), the goddess of love and beauty.
She is the goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite took a part in the Trojan War, as one of the three goddesses that wanted the golden apple (which was for the "fairest") from Paris. Both Athena and Hera also wanted the golden apple, but Paris gave it to Aphrodite after she promised him the most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy. This soon started the Trojan War.
First off, the golden apple was given to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love. Secondly, to answer the original question, the apple was given to Aphrodite by Eris, the goddess of Strife, who was enraged because nobody invited her to a party with the rest of the gods because of, well, her specialty, so she decided to do what she did best, and rolled the apple to the three major goddesses. The apple said "to the fairest" on it, and, of course, the goddesses argued over it. Paris was then sent there to judge, as he was renowned for his unbiased decisions, and his strength of character.

You'll have to feed them both a Golden Carrot or a Golden Apple to activate "love mode".
When the three goddess were warring over who is the most beautiful, each of them offered Paris something. Aphrodite offered him the love of Helen, the most beautiful mortal at that time, and so Paris named her the most beautiful goddess and gave her the Golden Apple.
