lapple

Lapple is a fictional fruit that appears in certain works of speculative fiction. It is typically described as having a round shape, similar to an apple, but with a tart flavor reminiscent of a lemon. The skin of a lapple is often depicted as being a vibrant green or yellow, and it may have a slightly bumpy texture. Inside, the flesh is usually juicy and pale, with a core containing small, dark seeds.

The origins of the lapple vary depending on the narrative in which it is featured. Some stories suggest it is a naturally occurring fruit from an alien planet, while others propose it is a genetically engineered hybrid. Its unique flavor profile makes it a popular ingredient in exotic beverages and desserts within these fictional worlds. The lapple may also be depicted as having medicinal properties or being a significant part of an alien culture's diet or economy. While not a real-world fruit, the concept of the lapple serves to add an element of imaginative detail to fictional settings.
