This is an idiom so it has nothing to do with apples and oranges! Remember that idioms are common phrases in a language or culture that mean something different from how it literally sounds.

📝 This idiom is used to say that two things are completely different and it is not sensible to compare them.

📝 When you’re comparing apples to oranges, you’re comparing two things that are fundamentally different and, therefore, shouldn’t be compared.

📝 Sometimes the preposition 'with' or 'to' can be used.
