Apple

An apple was a fruit from the perennial plant of the same name.

Description
Apples could be eaten raw, but they also had several other uses. They were mainly used for making cider (and wine), but also used as sauce, and to fill pies. Due to their several uses, many settlements over Toril harvested apples.

History
In the mid–14 century DR, the Beldarg people survived off of the trade of apples and the products made from them. When the Kallamarn apple orchard was abandoned in the 14 century DR, many of those who picked the remaining apples were killed by kelpies.

Circa 1357 DR, the Shining Temple of Bishamon in Aru, Wa, had a soaring apple tree in front of it. The fruit were said to bestow immortality upon those who were worthy, and death to the wicked, but only Bishamon could pick them.

Reputation
Apples and their products were enjoyed by many mortals, but also by the gods. The deity of the Seelie Court, Nathair Sgiathach, loved to eat apple pies, but was incredibly picky about how they were made.
