The phrase that best describes the ecosystem services that the tree provides for you and your mom is "indirect services and direct services."
The direct services include the apples that your mom uses to make pies (a direct benefit). The indirect services include the shade it provides for you to read under, which contributes to your comfort and enjoyment but is not a tangible product.
