'''Apples''' are produce grown in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 34]]'' for use as [[food]], or as an ingredient in [[Cooking|prepared meals]].

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 [[Juices#The Sims 2|juice]], and are an ingredient in Pepperpepper Punchpunch. They can also be placed in a [[Refrigerator#The Sims 2|refrigerator]].

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 (The Sims 3)|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.

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 frenchFrench toast. They are also an ingredient in some [[nectar]]s.{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}}. Grown apples can be sold; perfect-quality apples are worth 16 simoleonsSimoleons apiece. Apples can be used to [[Gardening (The Sims 3)#Fertilizer|fertilize]] other plants, though their benefit is minor at best, especially when compared to other produce.

Apples are notable for being a fruit that, when consumed by a [[Pregnancy|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{{vgversion|TS3}}. 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.
