Apple! is a passive item added in Afterbirth †.

Effects

• Adds a chance to fire razor blades that deal quadruple Isaac's tear damage.
  • The chance to fire a razor blade depends on the luck stat. At base luck (0), it is a 6.66% chance, and goes up to 100% at 14 luck.
• +0.3 tears.

Interactions

• BrimstoneTears are replaced by a laser beam that pierces through all enemies and obstacles in its path and deals high damage. Can only be fired after a short charge-up period.: Adds chance for beams to do quadruple damage.
• Dr. FetusTears are replaced by bombs that benefit from bomb-enhancing effects and slide for a fixed time after being fired.: Adds a chance for bombs to do double damage.
• Epic FetusIsaac's tears are replaced with guided missiles, like those used by the Doctor's Remote.: Adds a chance for missiles to do quadruple damage.
• EuthanasiaAdds a chance to fire needles. If a needle kills an enemy, it bursts into more needles. - Needle shots' visuals and damage multiplier are overridden by the razor blades if both occur on the same tear, but retain the instant kill ability.
• Mom's KnifeIsaac's tears are replaced by a knife that pierces enemies, can travel through obstacles, and can hurt enemies while Isaac is holding it. Holding down the fire button before firing increases its range and power.: Adds a chance for knives to do quadruple damage.
• Sinus InfectionAdds a chance to fire a booger which sticks to enemies and poisons them. - Tears can gain the effects of razors, boogers, or both, though the chance for both to occur on the same tear is low. Razor blades visually override boogers in these cases.
• TechnologyReplaces tears with a piercing laser with unlimited range.: Adds a chance for lasers to do quadruple damage.
• Tech XTears are replaced with laser rings that pierce through enemies and deal damage to enemies within them. Can be charged to increase the size of the ring.: Overrides Apple!.
• Tough LoveAdds a chance to shoot a tooth instead of a tear, which deals greater damage than regular tears. - Tooth shots are overridden by the razor blades, though at under 14 luck it's possible to get both.

Synergies

• Chocolate MilkGrants charged tears that deal greater damage when fully charged.: When razors are fired, the charge time determines size and damage.

• The Ludovico TechniqueInstead of firing tears, Isaac controls one floating tear that hover over obstacles. This tear deals constant damage when held in place over an enemy.: Allows you to control a giant red tear that has a chance to do quadruple damage.
• A Lump of CoalThe more distance tears travel, the more damage they will do.: Razors will grow in size and damage as they travel.
• MarkedIsaac will now fire tears automatically directed at a red target on the ground which is controlled by the player. This allows for a full 360 degree tear firing radius.

Trivia

• Both the item itself and the description is a reflection of one of Isaac's nightmares between floors that involves him finding a razor blade inside a piece of candy.
• The item and pickup quote are a reference to the urban legend of giving away candies with razor blades hidden inside of them as a way of harming people.
