Zero. Insulin is a compound produced in vertebrates and not plants.
But if you are asking how the apple affects your blood sugar level, it is low in its glycemic index, and is a good food that will not cause a dramatic rise in blood glucose. The glycemic index of a golden delicious apple is 39. However, the sugar content of a Fuji is considerably higher and, while it is not in the index cited, I would believe that it would have a moderate (between 50 and 60) instead of a low glycemic index.
The rise in blood sugar levels correspond with the increased need for insulin in the regulation of its level. So a low glycemic index food would have lower insulin demand in the body.
The glycemic index was developed to create recommendations for the development of effective diabetes diets that would help reduce the swings in blood sugar levels. It also is a heart healthy diet.
