I am not sure if I correctly understand the question (or the intent to be more precise), as I do not see the catch - you can substitute the apple with just about anything, and my answer would be similar.

In theory, there should be no bacteria inside the apple, so you would want to get the bacteria off the surface. You could simply cut a bit of peel off and place it directly onto/into some kind of culture medium. Or you could use a cotton swab to transfer your germs onto the medium. In either case though, you want to make sure that you are not contaminating your culture with bacteria from elsewhere, so you would want to sterilize whatever tools you are working with, beforehand. A laminar flow wouldn't hurt either. And if it is bacteria specifically that you are after, you will also want to add fungicide to the culture medium to avoid fungus (mold/yeast) growth.
