Jesus was in the next row, so that one stick of gum would be enough for the whole class.

There would be no apples in the area. That’s just lazy cartoonist shorthand for “Hey, look, it’s a school gag.”
If this was Judas’s very first betrayal, “Judas” as an insult and criticism is not yet culturally current, so how does Matthew’s thought-comment “what a Judas” make sense? If it had been Melissa-Ann who shopped him, he would have said “what a Melissa-Ann” to equal effect.
It’s hard to tell when this is supposed to be set. The names and the clothing seems to suggest 1stC AD, but the greenboard, desky chairs and teacher’s specs (and the apple)(though probably not the gum) seem to indicate a more modern milieu.

They got the apple from the Serpent’s farm stand.
The Serpent seems to have had access to all manner of forbidden fruits… also grape, pomegranate, fig, carob, etrog or citron, pear, and mushrooms.
There were apples somewhere at that time. An apple had a lot to do with starting the Trojan War, hundreds of years earlier.
The ancient Greek word generally translated as “apple” referred to a wide number of fruits larger than a berry.
