You may use:

      location ~ \.php$ {
          fastcgi_pass   ...
          ...
      }

      location ~ ^/(app1|app2)/ {
          root    ...
          ...
      }

It's better do not use "if".
Try to route request via locations only.
If you want to pass non-existent files to FastCGI/proxy it's better to use:

      location / {
          root   ...
          error_page 404  =  @fallback;
      }

      location @fallback {
          fastcgi_pass   ...
          ...
      }
