A:No. The fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the story of the Garden of Eden is often called an apple, but it was really the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. By eating this fruit, they became like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), but had also become aware of their mortality.

The only difference between them and God (or the gods) was that they must die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal. In Genesis 3:24, God drove out the man and placed at the entrance to the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden and could not be allowed back for fear they would eat of the second tree. But this fruit was not called an apple.
