The Bible does not specify that the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden was an apple; it simply refers to it as "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." The association of the apple with this fruit likely arose from later interpretations and artistic depictions. In some cultures, the apple symbolizes temptation and knowledge, but the specific type of fruit remains unknown.
In Genesis.
Genesis
It is not clearly mentioned that the tree in the centre of the garden of Eden was a apple tree.
The devil tempted Adam, not Jesus, to eat the apple in Genesis.
Yes. (Genesis 3:7) But God didn't think that was enough to cover them; so God made longer garments for them. Genesis 3:21. Also, a side note, the Bible does not say that Adam and Eve ate an 'apple'. It says they ate a 'fruit'.(Genesis 3:6)
The Bible says it was the simple act of eating a literal fruit (the Bible does not say it was an "apple") that God had told Adam and Eve not to eat. (Genesis 3:1-6)
When Bella drops the apple at lunch, Edward catches it. The picture is him holding the apple. It stands for his dexterity and speed. It also has a reference to the apple in the story of genesis in the bible, where the apple represents the temptation of Eve and the removal of innocence. Meyer makes a reference to a quote from the bible on the first page of the book.
Major symbols and icons represented in Genesis: *The Fruit which holds all Knowledge of the mere nature of Good and Evil; This particular fruit is most often and commonly depicted as an Apple. Within the book of Genesis, a very distinguishing representation of an Apple is often presented - It symbolizes the mere nature of Knowledge - It bears all that is Good and Evil.
Stephenie Meyer has stated that the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis. It symbolizes Bella and Edward's love, which is forbidden, similar to the fruit of the Tree Of knowledge, as is implied by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that is quoted at the beginning of the book. It also represents Bella's knowledge of what good and evil are, and the choice that she has in partaking of the "forbidden fruit", Edward, or choosing not to see him.
The Bible refers to it as "the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil," or "the forbidden fruit." (Genesis 2 and 3) The tree itself is also referred to as the "tree of life." We don't know if it was actually an apple at all.

Eve (it was a papaya)Additional information:Actually, the Bible doesn't say what kind of fruit it was...just 'fruit'(Genesis 3:2+6). Eve first ate the fruit, then gave some to her husband, Adam, who also ate. (Genesis 3:6+12)
