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.
To be âthe apple of someoneâs eyeâ means to be their âfavorite,â the cherished object of their affections, and to be regarded as especially precious and dear to them (âHe canât live without you. Youâre the Apple of his Eye, the Joy of his Heart, the Lamp of his Life,â 1693).
