    Join the table to itself.

    After seeing the comment from Dems I changed the SQL to add a couple of indexes:

    CREATE TABLE #OrderDtl (OrderId INT, Product CHAR(10))
    
    CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_Order ON #OrderDtl (OrderId) 
    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Order_Product ON #OrderDtl (Product) INCLUDE (OrderId)
    
    INSERT #OrderDtl SELECT 1, 'ORANGE'
    INSERT #OrderDtl SELECT 1, 'APPLE'
    INSERT #OrderDtl SELECT 2, 'SHAMPOO'
    INSERT #OrderDtl SELECT 2, 'SOAP'
    INSERT #OrderDtl SELECT 2, 'TOOTHPASTE'
    
    SELECT T2.* 
    FROM #OrderDtl T1 INNER JOIN #OrderDtl T2
    ON T1.OrderId = T2.OrderId
    WHERE T1.Product='APPLE'
    
    SELECT *
    FROM #OrderDtl
    WHERE OrderId in
        (
            SELECT OrderId
            FROM #OrderDtl
            WHERE Product='APPLE'
        )
    

    Comparing the resulting execution plans is interesting, for this trivial example the result is the same:

    Execution plan

    EDIT:
    Adding the execution plan of esastincy answer, it’s the same again in execution “effort”

    Additional execution plan
