Yes, rabbits can eat many common fruits, vegetables and other vegetarian foods, including apple.

Rabbits can eat apple, but only in small amounts as a treat.

One opinion: If you have pet rabbits, don't give them too much apple. A small bite or two or a small slice of apple every few days should be okay as a treat for your rabbit, assuming she's otherwise healthy and eating a balanced diet. A healthy rabbit diet consists mostly of hay, with some fresh greens and some high-quality pellets daily. See the related question below for more details and helpful links about the rabbit diet.

Another opinion: If a rabbit is at least 4 months old and has no history of digestive problems, they can safely enjoy one quarter of an apple at a time (depending on the rabbit's size). Bunnies love apple cores as well, so you can give him the core when you finish the rest. Remove apple seeds, though, because they're toxic.

Another opinion: A quarter of an apple is a huge treat! And 4 month is too young. Too much sugar can make a rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treats (fresh fruit or veg) per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound adult rabbit. Also, rabbits shouldn't eat treats until they're 6 months old.
