Using equals in your condition means that the uri should be exactly /apple. If the request is /apple/ it will not trigger the condition. I suggest change the condition to contains or starts_with and use a space after HTTP::uri

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/apple" } { 
        node 193.13.14.5 
        snat automap 
        HTTP::header replace Host "ebc.mysite.com" 
        HTTP::uri / 
    } 
}

Also you can use a rewrite profile to rewrite the uri in question and remove the 

HTTP::uri /
from the iRule.
