Altaïr's Apple is referred to as Piece of Eden no. 2 in Alan Rikkin's email to Vidic in AC1, while the Apple Queen Elizabeth I had was ID'd as Apple of Eden 2 in the Glyphs in AC2. Even though I'm not sure if those numbers in the Glyphs still account for something...

After having played Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, I pretend that it was Francis Drake who travelled to Syria to obtain the artifact, making his way into Altaïr's library with brute force, and then taking the Apple back to England.

However, I was just thinking about this today, about how those PoE numberings from the Glyphs probably have very little to no merit. When Desmond asked Lucy why Abstergo didn't just go to Masyaf to get Altaïr's Apple, she replied that they already had the artifact from Masyaf. To me, that implies that when Abstergo retrieved it, the Apple was still in Masyaf.
