The EU's "Handbook for EU Exporters of plants and plant products to India" published in January this year mentions the UK as an exporter of apples to India in 2019. So it doesn't look like there has been a "50-year ban" as claimed by ministers. 
"With the ongoing ban on imports of Chinese apples, the EU exporters hold a chance for sizeable increase in the market share. Also, the trade dispute between India and US has halved the imports of apples to India from US providing improved opportunity for EU suppliers."
India may have made it easier and more profitable for the UK to export apples by allowing them to be refrigerated in transit to protect against fruit fly rather than before shipping. How profitable that really will be is another question.
Anyway, don't tell us we had to leave the EU to export apples to India. It's rubbish.
