Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which is converted into cyanide but in a very small amount when the seeds are chewed or crushed. Cyanide is highly poisonous and can be deadly in high doses.

hloo frnd and your answer is as follows....
Apple seeds contain a plant compound known as amygdalin. ... It is harmless when intact, but when the seeds are damaged, chewed or digested, amygdalin degrades into hydrogen cyanide. This is very poisonous and even lethal in high doses (4, 5). Cyanide has been used as a poison throughout history.
