There isn't a specific scientific term for "apple" in the same way there is for, say, a scientific name for a species like *Homo sapiens*.

However, here are some ways to refer to apples scientifically:

* *Malus domestica*: This is the scientific name for the domesticated apple species, the one we typically eat.

* Pomaceous fruit: This refers to a type of fruit with a fleshy core that contains seeds, like apples, pears, and quince.

* Rosaceae family: Apples belong to the Rosaceae family, which also includes roses, plums, cherries, and strawberries.

So, depending on the context, you could use any of these terms to refer to an apple in a scientific way.
