I do love how little people know of anything in the Old Testament. One thing about being raised in the JWs, we were taught the Bible as a whole, along with the in depth history.
God created Adam, but he was lonely, so God created Eve from one of Adams ribs. In a genetic way, she was his clone, minus the X Chromosome. On a genetic level, they were closer than a brother and sister.
As for the fruit, not an apple, Satan told Eve that God didn't quite mean everything he said, that is was okay to eat from the tree as than they would have more knowledge. In a way, he was right, because what they gained was the experience and the knowledge of sin. The fruit did not give this to them, they gained it from the action itself. They were virgins of the experience of sin.
There was nothing evil about the tree or the fruit. It was only a symbol.
Here's a good video to help you understand from Jib Jab.

Creation is a feminine quality. Adams creator was his Mother. She liked Adams qualities of speaking and chose to make another child from the same rib that Adam came from. Rib was the name that She called a mans penis, like we call it a bone (er). The apple was a symbol of a miscarriage that only females were allowed to consume. Males were called the walking trees of life and females were called the walking trees of knowledge of good and evil. The fruit of the womb was not to be consumed. The fruit of the tree of life was supposed to be consumed when not used to procreate. This way men would love each other and not have to kill each other over Her favours. Snakes don't talk but their actions speak louder than words. Many snakes consume baby animals and do not die. This says that eating babies will not kill you, so Eve was confused by the conflicting message. Dust comes from the stuff stars are made of. Stars are made from the stuff left over from the singularity's Big Bang. She was the singularity so we are made from Her decomposing body parts.
It's like when you play telephone, the original message gets distorted over time. Natural Forensic sciences help to uncover the truth distorted by Creation science.

God created Adam, but he was lonely. So God took out one of Adam's ribs and made Eve. Now, Adam and Eve where told that they could eat any of the fruit, EXEPT for the forbidden fruit of good and evil. But, a snake (satan) convinced Eve to eat one and Eve convinced Adam to eat one. They then had a knowledge of good and evil and could have children, however as a punishment, they where kicked out of the garden of Eden

Eve was made from one of Adams ribs;and yes the fruit on the tree of Good & Evil Adam and Eve were prohibited from.
But of course,Eve listen to the snake and sent all of humanity down the drain.

It is about GENESIS... The beginning... the apple is the knowledge about humanity that the women have been pulled out and became the remnants which is banned to elaborate. But as a Christian... we still honor the old testament as it is the word of God... as is as the beginning.... a centurion messages, passed on to generation to generation.

God created Adam from the dust
He created Eve from Adams rib
so she was "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh"
these were the first people on earth, we all descend from them
that information won't convert you
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
seek Him while He may be found
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

The sort version is that christians are insulted by evolution because it says we share ancestors with apes, but it's good that we were made out of mud.
I do wish I knew why Adam had nipples though...
