It's a natural wax (and, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate. The reason apples are waxed is not cosmetic; it helps it keep firm and juicy, and will also keep bacteria from easily penetrating the apple. The apple will live longer, stay fresher and firmer. Basically, the carnauba is a replacement for the apple's natural wax, which is washed off when the producers clean it. It keeps the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.
