A type of wax called cutin is produced by the epidermal cells of plants, forming a water-resistant coating on the surfaces of stems, leaves, and fruits. This helps the apple conserve water and also acts as a barrier to infection.
Other than this natural cutin , there is artificial waxing done on apples for preserving. This artificial waxing is legal in US with restrictions on the type of wax used and the thickness etc.
As usual, there is illegal waxing also done on apple as an adulteration method.
