No no. Most stereotypes have a basis in facts. Teachers liking apples has zero basis in fact.
While I'm familiar with the television portrayals of students giving apples to their teachers, and the apple often being used as an object symbolizing teachers, I'm not sure it's a stereotype that teachers "like" apples. It may, however, be a stereotype that students give apples to their teachers.
