Yes they do. An apple is less dense than the water it displaces, so it floats. This is why we can have the game of "bobbing for apples", where you try to bite a floating apple.

Why a watermelon floats?
Well, not all fruits float. All fruits are designed differently, which determines if they float or sink. The fruits that float have air. If more air takes up the object, it holds the object up helping it float. For example, an apple. The apple will float but not as much as an Styrofoam block. The apple can float because the apple's core has seeds AND air.

Why do apples float and pears sink?
Pears do not float in water because the pear is more dense than the water. The pear has a high water content, therefore making it more dense. For example, apples float because they are less dense than the water.
