The apple tree was first cultivated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor is still found today. Today apples are grown throughout the world.

Latest scientific data shows that the apple actually originated in the southern United States, the only habitat of its ancestor Gillenia, a woody shrub also called Indian's physic. When the Cretaceous Age came to a disastrous end with the meteor crash that killed the dinosaurs, all species on earth began to evolve at an accelerated rate, to meet the harsher conditions. At the same time that mammals began to grow larger, Gillenia crossed with a spiraeoid proto-malian (the common ancestor of Vauquelinia, Lindleya, and Kageneckia) to produce a new plant with double the chromosomes of its ancestor (the only place where Vauquelinia and Gillenia both grow is Texas!). The resulting hybrid eventually evolved into the wild apple (or crabapple). Over the course of millions of years, the wild apple spread over the Bering Strait into Asia. The ancient Turks of the Ili Valley were the first to domesticate the crabapple, crossing it with another wild apple, the sieversii. They probably created the Asian pear by breeding the wild apple with the wild pear, a pome from the Caucasus. So using the available evidence, we can finally say that the birthplace of apples was most likely Texas.
