I believe I found the place you got the sentence from (I go there frequently) and it doesn't appear to have a metophorical usage. They took a literal translation approach to the sentence:
The experiments were carried out in/on/with an apple/apples.

The context was lab work. I don't know what experiments were performed. I just eat them.

There's also the Adam's apple, which I believe in Spanish is the nuez/bocado/manzana de Adán.

In Spanish, for Adam's apple the most common is nuez.
Also, bocado de Adán.

Do you usually say nuez alone, or nuez de Adán?

Nuez is enough.
  • Menuda nuez tienes.
  • Ya no se ve gente con tanta nuez.
