可能形の動詞は助詞が「を」?
I was taught in class that when using potential verbs like 食べられる, the particle is が. For example, りんごが食べられる. However, I have encountered on several occasions where を is used. For example, りんごを食べられる. When can を be used?

「を」を使う場合は、 りんごを食べることができます。 となります。
When you use 'を’, It is going to be 'りんごを食べることができます’.
For example,
家を出ることができます → 家を出られます
彼を助けることができます → 彼を助けられます etc.
りんごを食べられる の文法は間違いとなります。
so, りんごを食べられる grammer is wrong.
