Apple

Apples are produce grown in The Sims 2: Seasons, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 for use as food, or as an ingredient in prepared meals.
==The Sims 2: Seasons==
In The Sims 2: Seasons, apples are grown on apple trees, which can be bought in build mode for §1200 apiece. Apples can be made into apple juice, and are an ingredient in pepper punch. They can also be placed in a refrigerator. 
==The Sims 3==
In The Sims 3, apples are grown on apple trees, either from planted apples or apple seeds, or can be purchased from the supermarket. Apple seeds are "common" and can be planted by any Sim, regardless of their gardening skill level; however, if an apple tree develops weeds, a Sim with level 1 or lower gardening skill will be unable to pull the weeds. Planted apples or seeds, with proper watering, will grow into a mature apple tree and start producing fruit in five days. Each harvest yields from 3-5 apples, and each tree can yield up to 40 apples before it becomes barren.
Many apple trees are also found in parks and fishing spots, usually with Normal quality. Such trees will never wither, but are very susceptible to being eaten by deer and zombies.
Apples used in prepared dishes can increase food quality by 10% even without a good quality. Apples can be eaten "raw" by a Sim or be used in some dishes, such as pancakes, cobblers, and French toast. They are also an ingredient in some nectars. Grown apples can be sold; perfect-quality apples are worth 16 Simoleons apiece. Apples can be used to fertilize other plants, though their benefit is minor at best, especially when compared to other produce.
In The Sims 3: Seasons, Sims can participate in an apple bobbing tank contest.
===Apples and pregnancy===
Apples are notable for being a fruit that, when consumed by a pregnant Sim, will increase the chances of that Sim ultimately giving birth to a boy; eating three apples virtually guarantees a boy, with a 99% likelihood that the Sim born will be male. That apples serve this purpose may be a reference to the Laryngeal Prominence or "Adam's Apple", a growth on the neck which only males possess. 
===Dishes that requires apples===
*French Toast (lvl 9 cooking)
*Fruit Parfait (lvl 4 cooking)
===Poisoned apple===
Poisoned apples were introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural, where they can be summoned by accident by witches who use the Conjure Apple interaction and idle action (or on purpose if the witch has the Evil trait). They have a pink coloration, and cannot be stored in refrigerators.
The only available action for them (besides Place and Cast Spell… → Conversion Ritual) is "Eat", which will make the Sim faint for a short while and gives the Dark Slumber -50 moodlet for 2 hours. Upon waking up from having fainted, the Energy motive will be pretty low (starting at Tired on a 2-hour countdown), on top of the Dark Slumber moodlet still being present. When the Dark Slumber moodlet expires, the Sim becomes nauseous.
Normally, only witches and no one else can create poisoned apples, as they're not available for sale at commercial lots for understandable reasons. A mod exists that allow buying poisoned apples one at a time in BuyDebug.
==The Sims 4==
Apples, when sold from trees, can vary in price depending on the trees quality.
