Generally you indent every paragraph that follows another paragraph. So in your example, you'd indent the paragraph before the list, but not the paragraph after the list. Agreed that it can look a little odd when the explainer paragraph is short, but you do it for consistency of approach. If it is way too distracting, you can try introducing a sub-subhead:

Subhead

Intro paragraph.

Listing fruits

Before shopping, it can be useful to assemble a list of the fruits you'll buy:

Apples
Oranges

...or use some sort of section divider if it makes sense in context:

Subhead

Intro paragraph.

Before shopping, it can be useful to assemble a list of the fruits you'll buy:

Apples
Oranges

...in both cases the explainer paragraph is preceded with something other than another paragraph, so it can be unindented.
