All acids with a general formula of R-COOH are organic acids from a chemistry point of view.

Malic acid can be extracted from apples or produced synthetically from butane gas.

From a food legislation point of view:

If the malic acid is extracted from an organic apple, it counts as organic malic acid. If the malic acid is extracted from an apple which has been treated with chemical pesticides or fertilisers, it is inorganic malic acid.
