Are the apples of Idunn and Garden of Eden related?

by KrishnaS124

Norse mythology holds Idunn as barer of the apples of immortality, only fit for the gods. The garden of Eden bares God's apples of wisdom. Are these connected? Internet searches only bring forums of people asking the same question with no concrete answer. Shamelessly made the connection reading Gaiman's Norse Mythology Book

The garden of Eden bares God's apples of wisdom.?

There is no mention of apples in Genesis. There is only a mention of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The type of fruit isn't mentioned.
