Question

I blessed an apple at home, intending to finish it there, and then decided to leave. Am I allowed to finish the apple in my hand on the way, since I blessed it?

Answer

You are not allowed to finish the apple, and your case is considered as a change of place with fruits, which requires a new blessing, even if the apple is in your hand.

Source

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 178, S"K 39, quoting Bechayei Adam: "Even if he holds the fruit in his hand and goes and eats, it is considered a change of place if he leaves his original place where he intended to eat."
