You'll have to write/compile it yourself. Nobody has done it before.
There are a lot of things to consider.

You didn't put a smiley after this, so I feel compelled to point out
that mad ATARI user almost certainly meant "where can i find an (apple 2 /
3 emulator) for Windows 3.1 ?" and not "where can i find an apple 2 / 3 (
emulator for Windows 3.1) ?" :-)
Good thing you pointed it out. Now you have, I can see the message both ways.
In the first case, I don't know of any Apple II emulators that run under
Windows 3.1, although they might exist. The earlier ones normally ran
under MS-DOS, laters ones under 32-bit Windows i.e. Windows 95/NT and
later.
He should use the DOS ones since Win 3.1 was intended to be a replacement
for the DOS shell.
In the second case, the only IBM PC emulator I know of for an Apple II
is the PC Transporter, a card which emulated a PC/XT with 640KB of RAM
and CGA graphics. It can run up to Windows 3.0, but not 3.1, and even
then is very limited because of the memory and graphics limitations.
Really? I thought starting with Windows 3.0 the minimum requirement was a
386. 2.X ran rather badly on a 286. XT machines are one step below that.
