I've seen a number of people suggest it might have been originally implied to be a fig or date, given the age and habitat of those fruits, not that it really matters what species

Also possibly a pomegranate, which comes from medieval latin for "apple with many seeds". Lots of things were called apples in the past, and many languages still do that, like the French words for potato; "Pomme de terre" which means "Apple of the earth".

Apple just kinda mean fruit, so it's quite vague.

The Dutch word for 'potato' is 'aardappel' which translates literally as "earth apple"
