For real fruit; the bacteria or fungi on one apple will infect the other in a batch. Also fruit gives off a gas that promotes ripening and over ripening is spoilage.

As a folk saying it means that one person's actions can cause others to be labelled. For example one crooked cop tarnishes the images of all cops. A teacher having sex with students makes us suspect all teachers/coaches.

One orney football/Basketball player makes all seem less honorable.

How does one bad apple spoil whole basket of apples?

One apple that is bad can have mold or other infectious things that spread to the other apples in a basket. If no apples are bad then they´can keep for a very long time (months) as long as their skins are undamaged and they are kept cool. A spoiled or bruised apple starts to generate ethylene gas. This starts the process in the other apples around it.
