the quantity of apples demanded will increase as the price of apples falls

Explanation:

When a supply of a certain product is increased, there amount of that product in the seller's storage tend to become abundant. To make the customers choose to buy the product from them instead of their competitors, most sellers will reduce the price of this product.
