The first one means you like all apples, you don't mind eating any kind of apple. It's usually just meant to tell people that you like eating apples.

The second one means you are talking about a specific apple.

If you are referring to the apple you are eating, you say I like this apple.

@andiblvr thank you Andi,you explained them to me very well. I wandered if I like the apple could mean the whole species of apples. Does it have this meaningful? Thanks a lot.

@Checherish Yes, when you say you like the apple, you can take it to mean that you like the whole species.
