It could mean either, depending on context and how it's said. I recorded two ways of saying it. The first pronunciation is more likely to mean "I want one more apple" and the second pronunciation is more likely to mean "I want a different apple."

I want another apple.
It's usually used to mean "I want one more apple", but it can have the other meaning. For example:
I'm still hungry. I want another apple. (I want one more apple.)
I want another apple. This one has a spot in it. (I want a different apple.)
