It took me about 10 minutes after accepting the quest before the apples started to spawn. Being the only player in the area this was really a surprise and maybe related to the character being a Blood Elf. So if you see no apples, wait for a while and they just might appear.

Description
It sure gets hot out here in the Valley of Trials. <Galgar wipes his brow.> If only I had some cactus apples, I could make my famous cactus apple surprise! Nothing cools you off faster than a piece of that delicious treat. I'll tell you what, {name}. If you bring me six cactus apples, I'll make you a few portions of cactus apple surprise to take with you on your adventures. If you're interested, you can find cactus apples growing near the cactus plants around here.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Invaders in Our Home
You're not just another grunt - you seem to be a serious <class>. Good, because that's exactly what I need. Try not to let the word out, since I don't want to cause a panic... but there have been reports of more humans nearby.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sting of the Scorpid
I must send you back into the fields again, <class>. You will find large numbers of scorpids northwest of here. Bring me eight of their tails. The antidote for their sting is actually made from venom extracted from their stingers.
