The question "can I have any milk" may inquire whether the asker is able to have any of various kinds. If it was a polite question asking permission, then I would agree that "some" is the right answer. That is "could I have some milk?" In the case of "are there any apples", the inquiry relates to whether a supply of apples is available or not. I hope this helps.
Can I have any milk? Are there any apples? No,There're not any apples. Could I have some milk? Yes, you can/No ,you can't.
