Why do people roast pigs with an apple in its mouth?

You want to keep the mouth open or jaw might fall off, and the color of the apple shows how red the skin is, the redder the better and more crunchier.

They also apply a bit of milk on the skin to make it more crispy. Its a cultural thing.
 
Roasted pigs got apples in it's mouth because it looks good in it. When it was being roasted it has a big bamboo pole in it's mouth to its anus.and rotated in circles.over flaming coals. Hence after roasting they get the poles out . the mouth of the pig is quite opened wide.There is a need to place something on the mouth of the pig so it won't look gross
