6 months baby girl
Started giving Apple puree to baby, the mother is trying but baby is not liking at all and she wants her baby to complete it that too at once. It is nearly half bowl may be less than that also.
My question is, is it ok start now and it yes then how much? Because she is trying the half bowl all at once and baby is crying a lot because of that.
What should be done.

Can start trying now. Don't force feed. Offer her apple puree every few days till she gets used to it. Start other foods too.

Yes it's ok to start now. Babies take some time to accept new foods. You can try again after 15 days. There are a variety of foods which can be given at 6 months. Please meet a pediatrician for advice

weaning from milk and starting the complementary feed is recommended by the time baby reaches 6 months .. as in your case do offer the puree to the baby initial try to give in small quantity & once tolerance improves you can increase the quantity.. Do not quantity you just need to try ..
