That is an exception to the normal Spanish rules, and it could be argued
that "comer manzanas" is considered the object, and "me" the subject,
it's just that they're inflected irregularly. I'm not sure if that's
actually what's happening, but given the word order, it makes sense to
me. Regularly, you'd expect *"Comer manzanas me gusta"
