poison apple
Toxic tempting fruit
A poison apple is an apple laced with poison, most famously the one the Evil Queen uses to put Snow White into a death-like sleep.
The phrase serves as a metaphor for something attractive that conceals danger or betrayal: The deal looked sweet, but it turned out to be a poison apple.
The image captures how harmful things can come in appealing packages.
