In marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

Its an egg



EXPLANATION:



At the outset, the egg shell corresponds to 
the "marble hall" in the first line of the 
puzzle text. The crystal clear fountain in the third 
line must correspond to the egg whites. The 
"golden apple" as mentioned in the fourth line 
must be the egg yolk which is gold (or yellow)
in colour which is located inside the outer 
covering . The fifth line states that "it has 
no doors" which is enirely true because 
normally eggs do not possess any holes or 
openings. 




The sixth and the final line inter-alia 
suggests that the egg yolk is much more tastier
than its outer covering. Consequently, most 
eggs are consumed together with their corresponding 
yolks.
