Write a collision routine that checks the the borders around the apple, with 
the borders around the first snake section. There's many ways to write a 
collision routine, and I would write out a simple algorithm for yourself 
first.
Here's a diagram of an 8x8 sprite:
   x,y _________ x+8,y
        |                |
        |                |
        |                |
x,y+8|_________|x+8,y+8

Then check if the snake head hits between or on any of those corners.
