I read somewhere that she’s spoofing herself with Ariadne Oliver. Apparently the constant eating apples was something Christie did.

She is. The character is to make fun of herself, and address things people have said about her.

And in Partners in Crime, Christie has Tommy and Tuppence reference/imitate different fictional detectives, including Poirot.
