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.
