The most common custom is to eat it on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, after we have washed our hands and had our round challah dipped in honey. Before eating the apple, say: Bah-rookh ah-tah ah-doh-noi eh-loh-hay-noo meh-lekh hah-oh-lahm bo-ray pe-ree hah-etz Yeh-hee rah-tzohn mee-leh-fah-neh-khah sheh-tih-kha-desh ah-lay-noo shah-nah to-vah oo-meh-too-kah. You then enjoy your head of a fish (ram), pomegranates, carrots, and all the other symbolic foods.
