I use a lot of themed resources and activities in speech therapy. The apple theme, I tend to include in when I am covering Autumn as a whole. We talk about apple orchards, the parts of an apple, and apple treats, and our experiences and preferences with orchards and treats.
For full disclosure, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases for my favorite books or games listed below. I have them linked below in case you are interested in expanding your resources for this theme. Other links, to freebies, songs, videos, and online games are not affiliated links.
