Answer 1

I found this at http://ask.yahoo.com/20061212.html:

It's sort of another way of saying "So there" (but with apples)...

According to a few sources, it originated in World War I with the "toffee apple," a kind of trench mortar bomb sometimes used to destroy tanks. We presume soldiers would say, "How you like them apples?" after an "apple" took out an enemy.

A character played by Walter Brennan used the phrase in the John Wayne movie "Rio Bravo." After throwing a stick of dynamite and seeing his partner shoot it in the air, Brennan shouted, "How do ya like them apples?"

Ironically, whether in the movies or on the battlefield, the person being asked usually isn't around to answer the question.

Answer 2

How do you like them apples?  Is an expression to mean how do you like that - but usually in the context of someone has done something and you are saying you did them one better.
