The apple is the fruit of the tree and falls close by the trunk. And so a child is much like his parents. Or one thing is much like another. . .

This phrase usually refers to a parent and his/her child, in which they both have the same trait. (Think of the child as the "apple" and the parent as the "tree")
Someone might say "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" in regards to a child exhibiting the same behavior or showing the same traits or gifts as a parent.

It means like father like son, or like mother like daughter. In other words someone is classing you alike with your parents. It could be used to insult both parties
