Psalms 17:8 ESV
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
A poetic reference to the pupil of the eye, an "apple". Keep your eye on me, the palmist says, your protection around me.
This phrase may be the basis for the tradition that it was an apple Eve plucked from the tree in disobedience.
