I would say someone replaced the apple while you wern't looking. Probably
wouldn't happen with pumpkins

My Dearest Pumpkineers,
WHILE CLEARING MY PUMPKIN PLOT TODAY, II REMEMBERED A NIFTY EXPERIMENT
WE ONCE PERFORMED IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE WERE STUDYING THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS
AND THEIR USE OF THE PRESERVING POWER OF PYRAMIDAL SHAPES. WE EACH
CONSTRUCTED TWO SMALL SHAPES OUT OF CARDBOARD; A SQUARE AND A PYRAMID. WE
PLACED A SMALL SLICE IF APPLE IN EACH AND FACED ONE SIDE OF EACH STRUCTURE
DUE NORTH. A DAY LATER WE FOUND THAT THE APPLE SLICE IN THE SQUARE WAS
QUITE BROWN, WHILE THE ONE IN THE PYRAMID WAS STILL QUITE WHITE AND
PRESERVED. SCIENTIFICALLY SPEAKING, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME SORT
OF MAGNETIC PULL FROM THE NORTH COUPLED WITH THE PYRAMID SHAPE. ALL I KNOW
IS THAT IT WORKED FOR ALL OF
US.
HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO; I WILL MAKE MY PUMPKIN MOUND IN THE SHAPE
OF A PYRAMID WITH ONE SIDE FACING NORTH. EARLY ON IN THE SEASON, I WILL
PROTECT THE SEEDLINGS WITH A HOTHOUSE SHAPED LIKE A PYRAMID, AND I WILL
GERMINATE MY SEEDS IN A PYRAMID SHAPED HOT-BOX. HEY GUYS, THIS COULD BE
INTERESTING!!
LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS...
