Hi,
Might it be Captain Comic? (

It would have been old in 1995. There are birds in the first part and they attack the main character. I don't think there are apples on the trees, but the red fireball that the main character shoots could conceivably be confused with apples (in the inaccuracy of memory). I think there are potion-like-things.
