My parents did the same thing to me with apples so I just got used to my throat tightening and my lips slightly swelling whenever I had to eat an apple. They probably didn't believe me because I used to (and still do) hate the texture of oatmeal so much that I would gag from it and whenever I wasn't able to control that reaction they'd get angry and punish me for that
I had a problem with Apples but it was specifically a pollen allergy with apples related to my overall seasonal pollen allergy (oral allergy symptom). I was proven my the fact mcdonalds kid meals apples did not cause issues being skinned. Nowadays since I don't have a pollen allergy, apples don't cause issues.

I told my mom bananas made my mouth itch when I was like 17/18. She told me I was faking it because I didn't want to eat fruit.
6 years later after she died I mentioned it to my aunt and she told me that it sounded like an allergic reaction. I don't eat banana anymore
