I think "She is eating apple" is a valid English sentence only if "apple" is serving as an adjective, e.g. "What kind of pie is she eating?" "She is eating apple."

If the "en" or "et" is in front of the noun, it means "a." If the "en" or "et" is attached to the end of the noun, it means "the." So:
gutt = boy
en gutt = a boy
gutten = the boy
eple = apple
et eple = an apple
eplet = the apple
(The "e" in "et" is dropped in the case of "eplet," because "epleet" would be kind of silly and would change the pronuncation.)
