Aimer in an appreciation verb so the fact that we're using "les" makes sense but in this context we're using it as in she likes "the" red apples (ie from the bowl)
If i were to say, she likes red apples (in general, all), is it correct to say: elle aime manger des pommes rouges ( since now i'm using des with an appreciation verb)

It's "manger" (not mangez) which is the infinitive form of the verb. It usually translates to "to eat" rather than just "eat." It's more obvious if you translate it as: "She likes to eat the red apples"
