《金苹果树与九只孔雀》是一个塞尔维亚民间故事，收在塞尔维亚民俗学家武克·斯特凡诺维奇·卡拉季奇（Vuk Stefanović Karadžić）1853年出版的《塞尔维亚民间故事集》（Srpske narodne pripovijetke）里。卡拉季奇走遍乡村，记录老百姓口头流传的故事和歌谣，常被比作塞尔维亚的格林兄弟；他还改革了塞尔维亚文字，主张「怎么说就怎么写」，让每个音只对应一个字母。

The Golden Apple-Tree and the Nine Peahens is a Serbian folktale. It appears in Serbian Folk Tales (Srpske narodne pripovijetke), published in 1853 by the Serbian folklorist Vuk Stefanović Karadžić. Karadžić travelled through the villages writing down the stories and songs that ordinary people told, and he is often compared to the Brothers Grimm. He also reformed written Serbian with the rule write as you speak, so that each sound has just one letter.

1874年，伊洛迪·劳顿·米亚托维奇（Elodie Lawton Mijatović）把它译成英文，收进《塞尔维亚民俗》（Serbian Folk-Lore）一书。1903年，苏格兰作家安德鲁·朗（Andrew Lang）又把它收进他著名的彩色童话系列中的《深红色童话书》（The Crimson Fairy Book），这个故事从此在英语世界的孩子中流传开来。

In 1874, Elodie Lawton Mijatović translated it into English in her book Serbian Folk-Lore.
