Angularjs with jquery auto complete not working

I am trying for the past 5 hours without success... Here is the code..

In View:

<input type="text" ng-model="foo" auto-complete/>Foo = {{foo}}

In controller:

    myapp.directive('autoComplete', function(autoCompleteDataService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
            elem.autocomplete({
                source: autoCompleteDataService.getSource(), //from your service
                select: function( event, ui ) {
                    scope.foo= ui.item.label;
                    scope.$apply;
                },
                change:function (event, ui) {
                    if (ui.item === null) {
                        scope.foo = null;
                    }
                },
                minLength: 2
            });
        }
    };
});

    myapp.factory('autoCompleteDataService', [function() {
    return {
        getSource: function() {
            return ['apples', 'oranges', 'bananas'];
        }
    }
}]);

Here is the issue...

The selected item is getting into the input box, but foo variable next to input box is not updating.

Where is the mistake.

Please suggest...

Change 

scope.$apply;

to

scope.$apply(function(){
    scope.foo= ui.item.label;
});
