Biologically, an apple is not a fruit, it is a combination of a fruit and a swollen stem. Apples (and Pears) are termed "accessory fruits" because the apple tree's true fruit is part of an apple, but most of the edible parts are not fruit.
A fruit, in the botanical sense, consists of the ripened ovaries of the plant, usually containing its seeds. The actual fruit of the apple tree is the part of an apple called the core, which contains the seeds and ovaries and is usually not eaten. The bulk of the apple is actually the base of the flower (the receptacle) which has swollen up around the seeds and filled with sugar.
Like many other non-fruits (including strawberries, pineapples, and figs), apples are considered fruit for culinary purposes because they are sweet and contains seeds.
