In Germany, during Medieval times, a man who ate an apple that was steeped in the perspiration of the woman he loved was very likely to succeed in the relationship. Talk about ripe for the picking! Yikes! 
Apple Folklore & Trivia
It is told that the prophet Mohammed inhaled the fragrance of an apple brought to him by an angel just before his last breath of life.
In ancient Greece, tossing an apple to a girl was a traditional proposal of marriage; catching it was acceptance.
Apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world. At present there are at least 7500 different varieties that vary in shape, color, texture, firmness, crispness, acidity, juiciness, sweetness, nutritional value, and harvesting period.
Though some historians are in dispute over exactly who first cultivated the wild apple, many believe it was the Romans who discovered they could cultivate those wild apples into fleshy, sweet, and juicy fruits. Some historians report the apple's origins were rooted in Southwestern Asia, just south of the Caucasus Mountains between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Others note that apple seeds found in Anatolia were carbon dated 6500BCE. Archeologists even found a fossilized imprint of an apple seed from the Neolithic period in England. ........all this means is that they're really old!
With the apple's exact origin in question, another dilemma arises. Did Eve really bite into an apple that she plucked off the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden? No specific name is given to the fruit she tasted from that tree, though apples are mentioned later in the Bible. Some historians believe Eve's fruit of temptation might have been a pomegranate or possibly even a quince.
Drinks made from the fermented juice of apples and pears were recorded by the Romans, but cider was probably known much earlier, at least by the Bronze Age.
About 4% of an apple is made up of vitamins and minerals. The rest of the apples, more than 80% is made up of water.
Fresh apples float because 25% of their volume is air.
Apple trees are valued not only for their delicious fruits, but for their wood that is used for making mallet heads and golf clubs. Pieces of apple wood add excellent flavor for smoking foods, and the split wood makes ideal fire logs.
The valuable acids and salt of the apple exist to a special degree in and just below the skin, so that, to get the full value of an apple, it should be eaten unpeeled.
The apple is an excellent dentifrice, being a food that is not only cleansing to the teeth on account of it's juices, but just hard enough to mechanically push back the gums so that the borders are cleared of deposits.
....what they're trying to say is;
Eat an apple a day,
Or an absence of mallus
Might lead to dental decay!
