There was apples growing on the tree. Bird flies to a branch and then flies away, without touching the apples.
Apples are gone. No apples on the ground and no apples in the tree. What happened?

How about this one:
A dog digs a hole. A cat climbs in. The dog climbs in. The cat climbs out. The dog doesn't climb out. The hole is cemented up to prevent anything from entering or exiting. Several years later, the remains of a cat are found in the hole. Who was dog?

Dam you guys and my English,
There was apples growing on the tree (2 apples). Bird flies to branch and apples are gone. Bird caused the branch to shake so 1 of the apples fell to the ground. There is apple on the tree and apple on the ground. But no apples anymore, cause there is only 1 of them on ground and on tree.

That's not how English works. no apples = 0 apples, not lack of plural apples.
