According to the Bible, Eve bit the apple first, then offered it to Adam. Eve tempted Adam by telling him that the fruit from the tree of knowledge would give them God-like wisdom.

Adam and Eve were told by God that they mustn’t eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge or they would die. In the Garden of Eden, a deceitful snake told Eve that God was lying. He made Eve believe that if they ate the fruit, she and Adam would become wise like God. Eve picked an apple and took a bite. She offered the fruit to Adam and when they were finished eating, they realized for the first time that they were not wearing clothes. According to the story, God punished the pair by making their lives, and the lives of their descendants, difficult.
