Ok, so I couldn't resist, so I'm pasting Stephenie's response here xd
What's with the apple?
The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice.
That's directly from her official website. 3nodding

The apple could mean love or a Forbidden love...a tabu since its the forbidden fruit also Twilight which Edward says is the safest time of day to be around Bella so I think it has something to do with it.
