The title points to one apple rather than a full orchard or harvest scene, so the fruit itself is the whole subject. Apples appeared often in American pictorial art, where their round forms, glossy skin and bright color gave artists a chance to study light and shadow. The fruit also carried meaning, standing for orchards, farm life and the abundance many Americans associated with the countryside. Looking closely, you can see how much a single piece of fruit could hold.
