Apples may not be such a great choice for that - they don't reproduce to the same type from seed, many of the resulting fruits won't be much good (if you get any), and you need at least one other compatible apple tree in close proximity for pollination. Basically the fruit is based on the tree you have, but the seeds in that fruit are a combination of the trees.
