Just curious… but has anyone parsed Ginge’s clue. I’m assuming it involves apples?

Anagram of afters is plum with fruits “forbidden”.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for ...

Firstly, many thanks to everyone for tearing yourselves away from the festivities and taking part. An especial welcome to Ginge, whom I have not met on this forum before.
It's neither easy nor fun to have to make a choice when there are so many sharp minds and worthy entrants. I truly appreciated just about every clue I read and really admire your skills with wordplay and the endless variations on a theme. Everyone is close but my final selection is as follows:

1st runner-up, Mattrom @32
Lick whelp mastiff pins upside down
For a smart re-write of the original entry and because it felt different

Two pop giants who have turned many people's world upside down

2nd runner-up, Paul @17
Representative in Poland wears egalitarian clothing
For deviously ignoring 'mp'

Something representative of Poland

And the award goes to Paulhabershon @10
Small enough to try
For its conciseness yet impreciseness. It awakens my curiosity: who or what might be small enough to try or be tried?

Thank you and goodbye for now
