It means something or somebody you deeply cherish. For example, "my friend's daughter is the apple of his eye" means his daughter is very, very precious to him.
Another example...."After adopting a new dog, she eventually became the apple of her eye. She fell in love with her new pet. She walks her dog every day and they always play together."
There's a good verse from the bible that uses the English idiom:
Proverbs 7:2 (KJV)
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
This scripture teaches that when Jesus sacrificed himself for us, all of our sins are forgiven, it does not mean we can sin freely as we want to. We are commanded to keep the Lord's commandments and cherish them completely as if His Word is our only treasure then we will live well. It might be impossible NOT to break his commandments but if we continue to practice God's principles, our fruit of the spirit will grow and stay strong, then we will be more blessed through our relationship with God.
Ask yourselves: Have you analyzed your relationship with God? He deeply cares for us because we are the apple of his eye.
1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
