What's with the táo, apple in twilight?

The táo, apple on the cover of the Twilight book symbolises "forbidden fruit". It shows how Bella and Edward's tình yêu could be seen as forbidden, with Edward being a vampire while Bella is still human and him fighting against the temptation of her blood. The film also includes an added scene where Edward catches an táo, apple Bella drops at lunch, using his enhanced vampire reflexes, to further tie in the táo, apple symbolism.
