There's many ways, the question is.. how do you want the items to be created/mixed (eg: from an NPC)

Here's... The magic box snippet (note: not guaranteed to work)!

Edit: Tested - does not work.. meh, too lazy to delete it anyways :/
obj/Magic_Box
  icon = '?box.dmi'
  Click() Mix()
  verb/Mix()
    set src in oview(1)
    if(!(src in oview(1)))return  //If the usr is not near the box, it will not open
    var/list/L[0]  //a list with no values in it yet
    while(1)  //infinite loop
      var/a = input("Please select what you want to add in to the magic box") as null|anything in usr.contents - L
// null|anything will make the cancel button appear and will list everything in the mob. usr.contents - L will take away things already entered
      if(!a)break  //if there's nothing chosen (cancel pressed or all items are gone), it breaks the loop
      L+=a  //if a is chosen, it is added to the list
    if(L.len<2)return  //if the List is less than 2 sizes, it stops the rest from happening
    //below is where the fun happens)
    if(/obj/apple in L) //if the path is in L
        if((/obj/yellow_apple in L) &&(/obj/green_apple in L))
            if(/obj/blue_apple in L) 
                 b = new/obj/purple_apple(usr) //creates a new object [purple_apple] in usr's content
                 del(locate(/obj/blue_apple) in usr)
            if(b)
               del(locate(/obj/yellow_apple) in usr)
               del(locate(/obj/green_apple) in usr)
        if(b) del(locate(/obj/apple) in usr)


I don't know if this'll work but it's merely one method of many possible ways... for it is... the magic box!
