I'm an Aussie too :) I didn't expect to see slang popping up in Chrome DevTools though haha.

I'm an Aussie also born in 91 and I have never heard that expression before. The "she'll be" made me wonder though!

That was my experience too. I hear "she'll be right" fairly often, but I hadn't heard "she'll be apples" before. I couldn't imagine any country but Australia coming up with a phrase like that though.

According to the wiktionary[1] it is "rhyming slang" from:
apples and spice = nice
