Before you start:

Make sure that your Google Apps account is established.
The domain you want to use for Google Apps must be using our Nameservers.

1.) Log into cPanel.
2.) Click on the icon MX Entry within the Mail box.
3.) Scroll to the very bottom of the page and under the section MX Records, click on the 'Delete' link next to each record.

4.) Once all of the Records have been removed, you will need to enter the Google Apps records. This is done under the Add New Record section. Enter the following:

Destination: aspmx.l.google.com

5.) Click the 'Add new Record' button.
6.) You will need to repeat steps 4 and 5 to enter the following records:
