As an artist, my niche was food illustration. It would probably be even more descriptive to say that I was a fruit illustrator. I have certainly illustrated a lot of apples, and can even paint them from memory. Below are paintings of apples that were used on food packaging.

Some of these paintings were rendered with markers and colored pencils. Others were created with watercolor dyes. All of my paintings were done before Photoshop existed. I have a blog where I describe my technique and have a lot more information. It is at:
