I just found this adapter on eBay. Since Genesis controllers are compatible with Atari, this is a loophole to allow using a Genesis controller with an Apple II, right? Has anybody tried this? Does it work? I would want to do it if it worked.

The 8-way directional joystick design of Atari is fundamentally different than the 2-dimensional potentiometer design of Apple. Do you have a particular type of game you want to play that this would make sense with? I.e. playing PacMan is probably easier with an Atari-style joystick than an Apple one.
