Mel replied. If she plays with apple, then clearly she doesn' t want to eat it. So, stop offering it to her. There are so many other fruits that you can try.
From what you' ve written, I think it can be 1 of 3 possibilities:
1. She is bored of curry rice and apples.
2. She is teething, in which case babies avoid solids and milk intake goes up.
3. She is sick.
1. Most likely she is bored, since you said she plays with the apple, and doesn' t chew the rice. She doesn' t want to chew and enjoy the flavours, as she is bored of it. My son used to love rice... and then suddenly one day he wanted nothing to do with it. So, try offering her bits of chapati, moistened with ghee and some soft boiled veggies (pumpkin & carrots are best as they are moist when cooked). Offer her a bit, if she refuses, calmly clear away the food. Try again after 2 hours. After a while, she will eat. And then too, keep changing what you offer her.
Breakfast: Sooji kheer / Idli / Chapati with butter / Egg
Lunch: Rice / Roti with Dal / Well cooked veggies like potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, pumpkin / well cooked shredded chicken / egg
Dinner: Same as lunch.
In between meals, offer her bisuits / cheese slices / fruit yoghurt / caramel / fruits like banana, grapes, oranges / chickoo / watermelon / mango / pear etc.
2. If she is teething, then keep offering her food. When the pain subsides, she will resume her normal eating, but slowly cut down on the quantity of milk she drinks. If she has 250 ml. offer her only 225 ml for a few days, then reduce to 200 ml.
3. When my son used to fall sick, he wouldn' t eat even one grain of rice. He also used to avoid milk. Show her to a doc to check that she doesn' t have any stomach infection / other illness. If all is ok, ask him for an appetite stimulant syrup (my doc prescribed Ploybion-L syrup or Mimorange L syrup). These syrups increase appetite, but should not be given when baby is sick. So, if she is well, and your doc recommends the syrup, then start that.
All the best.
