This article is about the phrase. For the Badfinger song, see Apple of My Eye (song). The phrase apple of my eye refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others. According to The MacArthur Study Bible, Moses wrote it around 1400 B.C. Its meaning does indeed derive from an expression signifying the pupil of the eye, one of the most sensitive parts of the body.
Here is my challenge to you during this fall season. Each time you see an apple, I want you to use it as a trigger to remind you of this expression. Think of the apple of your eye, whoever it is. And, when you see an apple, I want you to tell that special person something that you love about him or her. You may say, â You are the apple of my eyeâ or you may give them a specific example of something you love. Use this opportunity to practice not only saying this expression, but showing that you mean it.
