No, it is not harmful. A brown part of an old apple is due to either a bruise on the apple or oxidation (after it is cut/bitten). The bruise may be off tasting, but certainly not harmful. After you cut/bite an apple, the brown which appears is a simple oxidation and will not taste any different.

Yes it is harmful to eat brown parts of and old apple. Acid causes the apple to rot and makes the brown parts. If you eat it, then you are putting acid caused by fermentation into your body which could cause you to vomit or get a very bad stomachache.

after you cut into an apple it starts to dry out. The brown part is simple dried apple. Won't hurt you but most choose not to eat it.

what do you think makes apple cider brown?
The air makes the apple brown, and so goes the circle of life.
Trust me, you won't die or anything.
