they are apple vs it is apples

These two phrases aren't equivalent to one another because they reference differing quantities and subjects. 'They are apple' is incorrect because 'apple' should be pluralized to 'apples' to match the subject 'they'. 'It is apples' is correct because 'apples' is the plural form of 'apple' and matches the singular subject 'it'.
