The Shinigami like them because they are juicy .

This is an excerpt from the Death Note Wiki article about apples ;

"Apples are Ryuk's favorite food and probably the only thing he eats. He likes apples from the human world because they are "so juicy". Apples from the Shinigami Realm look like shriveled green peppers and are said by Misa to "taste like sand." Ryuk stated that apples are an addiction for him, like alcohol or cigarettes for humans (although when you see his withdrawal symptoms you'd think it was more like crack). Ryuk exhibits symptoms of withdrawal if he goes without eating apples for a while. These symptoms include contorting (twisting) his body into uncomfortable positions and desperation to the point that he will take orders for one (i.e. looking for hidden cameras in Light's room).

Apples also symbolize the 'forbidden fruit'. In biblical history, Satan told Eve that eating an apple would give her the same status as God. Light's goal is to become a 'god', therefore confirming this theory. Thought, Ohba-sensei said in an interview for "Death Note: How to read" that he chose apples because he thought it was "cool".

Apples have become a very popular commodity or currency in the Shinigami Realm when Ryuk returns with an unknown quantity after the end of the series. In the manga one-shot, Midora bribes the Shinigami King with 13 apples she brought back from the human world in order to receive an extra Death Note, which she gives to C-Kira.

Gukku, one of the first Shinigami seen in the series, comments in the one-shot that Ryuk bringing human apples to the Shinigami Realm is the reason why Death Notes become so easily available. Gukku also states that "he doesn't know if that's a good thing or not." This could possibly be a precursor to more Death Notes being brought to the human world by Shinigami in future possible storylines. "
