Do you associate Avalon (the isle from Arthurian lore) with apples? Any reason why (not)?

For my part the answer is 'yes', because the Breton word for "apple" is 'aval' (pl avaloù).

Well, Giraldus was a Welsh nationalist and a bloody liar, so it very well could have been originally Breton, but he got it into the literature first
