It helps if you indent your code correctly, than it easily shows that 
you missed one axis step:

/ROOT/LEVEL2/*/*[@apply='1']

With indentation I mean this:

<ROOT>
   <LEVEL2>
       <A>
             <a>...</
             <b apply='1'>...</
        </
    </
</

this makes it visually clear that there's still a step between <LEVEL2> 
and <a>, <b> etc, namely <A>, <B> etc.
