I sort of have my own meaning but I'd be interested in others takes on what the meaning could/may be as well!
homoe??? Your mom's expression? Was she an Seinfeld fan too??? I ask, because it sounds like something straight out of any episode on that show! Like, maybe Kramer, Seinfeld or George might have said something like that!

The phrase apple of my eye refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others.

Sidebar: Its meaning does indeed derive from an expression signifying the pupil of the eye, one of the most sensitive parts of the body.
I like this expression, very much....
..... it's another favorite saying and I'm glad to see it posted here!
