The Golden Apple doesn't have a specific correlation with Venus and Cupid. Venus/Aphrodite is often depicted in art as holding a golden apple because she was awarded the Golden Apple of Discord by Paris of Troy. His reward was that he could have any woman he chose as his own. He chose Helen of Sparta.
