Well if you have a seed that came directly from an apple you dry the seed at room temperature for 2 weeks. Then you put the seed in a paper towel and moisten the towel. Then you put the towel and seed in a plastic bag. Put the plastic bag in the refrigerator and keep it in there for 4 weeks. If the towel gets dry you have to moisten it again. At the end of 4 weeks you will have a rooted seed. Then you bury it in the ground or a pot and water it. It will take 10 years for it to grow apples. It is a good idea to have another tree near it so they can cross-pollinate. If you want to go to all that bother fine especially if you have 10 years to wait and even then you may not get a worthwhile apple. Buy a named variety from a nursery or garden centre making sure it is a self pollinator and you will have fruit next year. But it is really fun to plant the apple seed yourself because you get to name it and watch it grow! That is what I am trying out right now. I hope you have fun!
