Why "Twilight Apples" ?

Why not Twilight Apples?

But really, there's a good reason. I admire Stephenie Meyer, and not just because she created a hunky vampire and a clutsy, relatable heroine. While I admire her for many things, including her simple-but-addictive writing style, as well as her ability to make her characters feel alive to the reader (and not just the main protagonists), it is her symbolism that continues to knock me off my feet.

With the Twilight series, she created symbolism on her novel covers that are a mere foreshadowing to her brilliance on the page. I was drawn to the first book in particular, where she portrays a picture of forbidden fruit being offered by the temptation itself. Hence, Twilight Apples.

That, and I just like how it sounds.
