I forgot to mention that the best time to plant apple seeds is in the fall, they do need to freeze in order to germinate. that is why apple trees do not do well in florids.
save you seeds and plant them on your bow hunt.
place the seeds 1/4 inch under the serface of the ground for best results. they should sprout in the spring.
you can make a bed in your garden 2 foot by 2 foot for the saplings. you let them grow till the following spring and dig them up before they start budding and set them out in the woods where you want them with a campers spade.
break the ground open "do not dig a hole" stick the shovel in the ground and push foreward pull the spade out lay the sapling in the crack and set the sapling to its original depth. To high or to low and the tree will die.
it is always best to plant saplings on a rainy day in the woods.
