Answer
Hi Tony,
Thanx for your question.  You can take some seeds from the apples and let them dry for a couple of days and then plant them in pots about 1/2 inch deep.  You can either leave the pots outdoors for the winter or seal them in plastic baggies and place them in the fridge for 90 days.  If left outdoors, make sure you water them enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.  Apple seeds need a period of cold in order to break the dormancy and sprout.  If left outdoors, the seedlings will sprout in the spring after the last frost.  In doors, after 90 days in the fridge, the pot should be placed under 40watt shop lights and left in the warmth.  They should begin to sprout sporadically after a few weeks.  Wait until the seedlings have their first set of true leaves after the initial sprout and then prick them out gently and transplant to separate pots (you'll do this for the ones that sprout outdoors too).  For seedlings started indoors, you'll need to place them in the shade, protected from rain, hail, wind, etc. for about 10 days after that, seedlings whether grown indoors or out, can be planted in full sun.  Make sure to feed regularly with a fertilizer rated for fruiting trees and water once a week if no regular rain.  I hope this helps.
Tom
