for one it wasn't an apple it was a fig. reading further in Genesis it tells this as once the fruit was picked the leafs fell from the tree on knowledge, in which adam and eve ashamed of their nude bodies made coverings to hide themselves.
eve gave unto adam the fruit and he did eat. I knew what it was and first said no but after she told adam he would not surely die he also ate.

Genesis 3:12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."
Notice "some fruit" not "an apple".

It wasn't a man that got the apple it was Eve and it was a serpent that talked her into taking the apple, and she talked Adam into eating it with her, and God had told them they could have any thing in the garden of Edan but the apple, so they did not lisen to what God told them and he Thur them out of his garden.

"The woman, which You gave me" ...
Adam was in effect blaming both Eve, who handed him the fruit, and God, who gave him Eve. He took no responsibility for taking any bites!
Blameshifter. It's like blaming your being drunk on the person who handed you a beer at a bar. Nobody said you had to DRINK the beer.

Well Adam blames God for giving him Eve. Mankind still blames God for his own sins, doesn't he? By the way, nowhere in the Bible does it say that it was an "apple." I imagine it was perhaps something more exotic.

Difficult question. Maybe he was curious. As they say: curiosity killed the cat.
Maybe he didn't want Eve to experience something that he had never experienced so that would be pride or the need for domination.

It doesn't actually say "apple" it was from the tree. And it was the woman.
It has always been human tendency to blame others for their own faults.

It was not an apple. It was "the fruit of knowledge of good and evil" I believe.
The woman (Eve) gave him the fruit which the serpant told her to eat.
