ss and finish off

Seeds

With black or brown sc around the posts a stitch near the middle (I suggest round 4) sc around the next post, finish off, then repeat for the other side.

Skin

(red, yellow or green)

Do the pattern for the flesh, only on round 10 don't ss and finish off. Instead, match it with the off-white and sc around through both pieces, then ss and finish.

Stem/leaf

With brown or green and skin side facing you, attach with a ss in last sc of skin.

Chain 7 loosely, skip one then sc back down. This is the stem. Ss in next sc. Chain 14 then ss in sc to make a loop. Now, going back along the chain loop, (sc hdc dc dtc dc hdc sc) ch 2, ss in second chain, then work the group back down. This is the leaf. Ss in stem and finish off.

Apple will look wrinkled, but it'll flatten. Get it slightly damp and dry it under a heavy pot to speed up the process if you wish.

To make a smaller apple, just reduce the number of rounds. Round 8 is a pretty good place to end off early.
