Five people went apple picking. Every person picked one apple. At the end of the day, there were five apples in the basket. Each person took one apple, yet there was still one apple left in the basket. No one put the apple back in the basket, no one left, and no one put in another apple. So how did this happen?

I have cities, but no houses.
I have mountains, but no trees.

Who am I?

One person took the apple but it was still inside the basket, so they took both.
