My shortened XML data:

My simplified XSLT:
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:apply=templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category_name">
<xsl:if test="category_name = apples">
<xsl:call-template name=apple_template/>
</xsl:if>

I think you'd do better by saying what you're trying to do here.
(1) you want the aples category to use a different template:
<xsl:template match="category[category_name = 'apples'">
something different
</xsl:template>
(2) you want to do something additional to the category name
when there are apples
<xsl:template match="category_name">
<xsl:if test=". = 'apples'">
<!--* call a template to display the category name: *-->
<xsl:call-template name="apple-template" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Your "if" doesn't work because it's inside a template that is matching
the category_name element, and it's looking for a category_name element
inside that, whereas in fact there's just a string.
Most likely you want my suggestion (1), to treat the whole category
element differently if its name is "apples".
