Yep this is a very common iRule.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {  [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.abc.com" } {
        pool abc_pool
        HTTP::uri /apps/abc[HTTP::uri]
    } elseif {  [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.cde.com" } {
        pool cde_pool
        HTTP::uri /apps/cde[HTTP::uri]
    } else {  
        pool default_pool
    }
}

Actually I think i might have miss-understood your scenario. I think what you're actually trying to do is... After the pool decision is made (presumably using an irule similar to the above) you want to append the "/apps/xyz" uri onto the HTTP request? I've updated my answer to append the URI and also direct traffic to the correct pool based on HTTP host.
