Apples are utterly ubiquitous, like baseball, eagles, dollars, American flags and the color red.Secular art makes it a symbol of love, and sexuality. I'm not making that up. that's why Venus poses with one so often. But American advertising uses it to project the opposite: chaste wholesomeness. It's inexplicable. t4he earliest use of the phrase "wholesome as apple pie" that I can easily find only dates to 1961, in the book "Lord Love A Duck" by Al Hine.
