If you don't like the duplication of "apple_", then flip the test:

ifneq (,$(findstring apple_,$(TARGET)))
...
endif

Also, $(filter) may be a better choice than $(findstring), as it won't
have false positives when the string is in the middle of the word, ala
"crabapple_jelly":

ifneq (,$(filter apple_%,$(TARGET)))
...
endif
