Apple is an item that can only appear in the Green Greens stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Origin
In many different games, apples have sometimes appeared in various levels. They usually appear alongside a boss fight, implying that Whispy is an Apple Tree. Kirby is able to inhale them and spit them back out at enemies. Waiting for apples to drop, then inhaling them and spitting them back out is the intended strategy to defeat Whispy.

Overview
On the stage, Whispy Woods shakes his branches every 80 seconds, causing 2 to 5 apples to spawn on the stage. Apples spawned by Whispy Woods come in two variants. One variant acts as a standard healing item, recovering 10% of a character's damage. The second variant acts as a throwing item that can inflict average knockback and 7 to 14% damage; they also have a chance of exploding when thrown, like Eggs, in which case they deal 22% damage with high knockback. Both variants can damage characters as they fall from the Whispy Woods, dealing about 1% each with weak vertical knockback.

Apples disappear faster than most other items, similar to the Hammer head.

The Apples trophy is part of the The Beginning of Kirby.
