Best Answer

Some plant fruits contain enzymes that "digest" proteins. Examples are the enzyme "Papain" from the Papaya fruit and "Bromelain" from the Pineapple fruit. When cooked or marinated in the juice of these fruit, the meet breaks down and becomes more tender.

However, the fruit of the Apple tree IS NOT KNOWN to have one of these enzymes so it does not make meat tender.
