The apple man (4)
I believe the answer is:
adam
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'the apple' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'man' is the second definition.
(man's name)
(Other definitions for adam that I've seen before include "first in the race?" , "First Christian ancestor" , "Biblical progenitor of human race" , "Eden inhabitant" , "father of us all?" .)
