why do they put an apple on top of a stack of books?

usually when i look at any picture of stack of books i find an apple placed on top?

Does it have any symbol or meaning?

thank you my visitor.
 
Apples are symbolic of teachers, since back in the day students would bring food or firewood to their schoolhouses as a kind of "payment" for the teacher.

Apples as a gift just happened to be the symbol that withstood the test of time. That's why they're a symbol of education and literacy, and that's probably why you've seen so many pictures of books associated with apples.

Hope that helps! :D
