Other legends of the apple are more practical in nature. This is a load of BS, however, as the apple is usually placed fresh into the mouth after the pig has finished cooking. Either way, the image of the apple in the mouth has become inextricably tied to the image of lechon. But does the apple adorning its gaping facial cavity make it more delicious? But if you think that a lechon looks more alluring or appalling adorned with a fruit famed for keeping the doctor away, then yes.

We roast pigs during New Year and Christmas and even on occasions like fiesta, weddings and other gatherings.
Other part of the planet roast pigs particularly on Christmas and New Year. Some serve it during Thanksgiving day. When I was still a child, I use to find roasted pigs with apples in their snout. I was curious why but I didn't bother to ask. I thought it's just normal. When I got older, I heard different explanations about it. But the origin of the tradition is still unknown. Here are the theories about why there is an apple in a roasted pig's snout.
One simple explanation I learned is it's a wealthy people's style to show elegance. Aside from this, I found more interesting theories behind. It was said that a hundred years ago, farmers tradition is putting an apple in a pigs snout is a part of the meal decoration during harvest celebration. The roasted pig was decorated with different kinds of fall fruits and vegetables to match the theme of the occasion.
Another familiar theory is to release gas from the belly of the pig as it is roasted but according to Steven Raichlen, host of Primal Grill on PBS and author of The Barbecue, it is purely aesthetic. Imagine a pig with it's internal removed where would that gases came from when it is replaced by spices. In other countries, they fed the pigs with apples to fatten them. So they believe that the pig, dead or alive should eat apples. That's why in order not to cut the cycle, they place an apple in a pig's mouth when roasting while others put it after serving.
In these modern times, a ball of aluminium foil is placed in a pigs mouth when roasted and replaced by apple afterwards before serving. In my country, we call this roasted pig as letsong or litson derived from the word "Leche" a Spanish word which means milk and pig because the pig to roast is suckling or still nursing from its mother.
After I witnessed a 3-months old pig, I think it is just the right size to prepare than a poor babe.
