Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents: 'application' (software for a particular function) combined with 'programme'/'program' (coded instructions) clearly denotes a software application. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compound noun in computing, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The name applications programme comes from the idea of a computer program that does one simple job for the user. An application is the 'task' to do and a programme is the set of instructions, so the phrase means software made to help you with a particular task.
