The saying alludes to possible attacks from Creek Indians and to James 4:13-17:
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

A blow between the eyes from any hard object such as an apple will keep away pretty much anyone away, even a doctor. More seriously, the answer is sort of. Diets high in fruits such as apples have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and a number of cancers, amongst many, many other diseases. However, the CDC and FDA currently recommend around 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day to really acheive these benefits. So a single apple, while a healthy serving fruit, is probably only going to make a minor improvement in your health outlook, if any. However, making a serious effort to include 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day in your diet, one of which that might be an apple, certainly would reduce your risk of developing a disease and keep the doctor away.
