In Dungeons & Dragons, a "Poison Apple" is not a standard item found in the core rulebooks, but rather a flavorful and thematic concept often used by Dungeon Masters to add intrigue, danger, or deception to a campaign. Drawing inspiration from classic fairy tales like Snow White, a poison apple typically appears as an innocuous, even delicious-looking piece of fruit—most often a shiny red apple—that hides a deadly secret. The apple may be magically or alchemically laced with a poison or curse, creating a narrative trap for unsuspecting characters who might eat it.

Mechanically, the poison apple functions similarly to any poisoned consumable item. When a character bites into it, they must usually succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a set DC or suffer the effects of the poison. The nature of the poison can vary depending on the DM’s design. It might deal damage over time, induce sleep or paralysis, cause hallucinations, or trigger a death-saving-throw scenario. The effects can be mundane, such as those caused by a vial of basic poison or wyvern poison, or magical, involving spells like sleep, bestow curse, or even geas. Some versions may require a Remove Curse or Greater Restoration spell to undo the effects, especially if the apple was cursed rather than merely poisoned.

Narratively, the poison apple is a useful plot device. It can be a gift from a duplicitous noble, a trap set by a hag in disguise, or a cursed relic that tempts the greedy. Because it blends the familiar with the fantastic, players are often caught off guard, especially in campaigns that encourage exploration and risk-taking. A clever DM might use such an item to teach caution, hint at larger conspiracies, or drive the party toward seeking rare ingredients for a cure. As such, the poison apple represents more than just a trap—it’s a storytelling tool that can enrich the adventure's depth and tone.
