Comen manzanas = They eat apples.
Comen unas manzanas = They eat some apples.
Come una manzana = He/She eats an apple.
Come unas manzanas = He/She eats some apples.
The verb comer is conjugated based on the number of people involved not on the number of apples involved.

They are both correct. If, for example, I cut the apples in wedges I would say "Ellos comen manzanas" because they are eating "many" apples, not just one apple as a whole.
