Rewards

Liven's take

Roger is the sit-you-down-and-teach-you-the-basics NPC of Maple Island. This quest sounds absurd on paper - "consume an apple, come back" - but its job isn't to reward you; it's to make sure you press I to open your inventory and understand that consumables live in the Use tab. That muscle memory pays off for the entire rest of your MapleStory career.

The datamine shows no material reward for Roger's Apple itself - the "reward" is that the game has now confirmed you know how to eat a potion, unlocking the rest of Roger's tutorial chain (each of which DOES give small material rewards: HP-boost apples, HP-max snacks, and eventually a set of starter potions).
