Apple

Apple is a character who appeared in The Annoying Orange, Microwave Effect and in many other episodes as part of flashbacks. Because he is one of the most illustrious characters of the series, his death left a significant legacy from then on.

Appearance
The character is depicted as an anthropomorphic red apple. He was one of Orange's best friends and is one of Orange's rivals, as referenced in the episode's description.

Biography
Apple appears in Hey Apple!, where he is seen being annoyed by Orange when he constantly says, “Hey, Apple!”. Orange then proceeded to crack jokes and puns, and babbling his tongue at Apple until he eventually loses his temper and tells him to be quiet. After few seconds of silence, Orange then warns Apple about Knife, who then appeared and sliced Apple to death. After being cut up, he was carried away by Dane Boedigheimer, possibly to be eaten. He later appears in The Microwave Effect, when Orange, Pear, Midget Apple and Marshmallow go back in time to the first episode (which is obviously re-filmed, proven as their speech were different (as they went back in time) and contains no archive footage). They alter history when Pear accidentally tells Apple that he will be knifed (while warning Orange not to change the past). After the future group vanish, the past Orange is about to tell Apple he's gonna get knifed. Scared, Apple avoids knife. Two years later, the group arrive back to the present and discover Grapefruit, Grandpa Lemon and Passion Fruit enslaved by a group of apples led by Apple. King Apple's police force, the Robo Apple, orders the newcomers to put their hands in the air. Apple (known "King Apple" during late 2011) orders him to fire at will. Fortunately, Burrito (controlling the microwave time machine) sends the group back to the past a moment after they left. Past Orange and Present Orange distract Apple until he gets knifed. The future group then leave (although the timeline remains altered by the fact that there are several clones of pear towards the end of the episode and there is no reason given why). After this, he was mysteriously revived like many other characters in the series (as proven due to the fact that he appears in the opening of The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, although this could be an unintentional mistake, as another apple was the main apple in the series). He has yet to appear in a future episode of The Annoying Orange.
