If economics isnt a zero sum game, why does more money automatically mean inflation?

I always hear how economics and wealth isnt a zero sum game, how one person getting more money doesnt mean that theres less for everyone else. 

I also hear that increased money supply always leads to inflation (and from what i can tell this is true)  

To me these two facts seems to contradict each other. Im sure im missing something (hence why im here), but from my perspective, if theres already infinite money, then why does everything have to go up in price when more of that moneynis made physical?

Increasing money is always inflationary, but it has nothing to do with how economics is a zero sum game. You could simply just have more production. Let's say you had an economy of 5 apples, and you also had $5 in this economy. Each apple costs $1. You then produce 5 more apples, now each apple costs $0.50. To have no deflation, you need to produce $5 (probably paid out to the people who made the 5 new apples), and now you have each apple costing $1 again. You've both made more money, and not caused inflation.
