Äpplet ("the globus cruciger"; literally "the apple") was a Swedish warship built in the late 1620s as the sister ship of Vasa, intended as one of the largest and most prestigious ships in the Swedish navy under King Gustavus Adolphus. Äpplet was built in the same shipyard in Stockholm as Vasa but finished somewhat later and with different proportions. The reason for the different proportions was the replacement of the original shipwright Henrik Hybertsson who died in 1627 with Hein Jakobsson who also attempted to widen Vasa while it was being built. Äpplet was launched in 1629 less than year
