All the apples you get today are hybrids. That means most of the seeds are sterile and will not grow. But some will, however the likihood that it will produce the same apple is close to zero. Hybrids tend to backcross to the different varieties that were used to make them. If you're willing to wait 7-10 years you could find out.

You would be better off contacting a local farm market or plant nursery for advice on which would be the best apple trees that grow in your area. Also, read as much as you can about growing fruit bearing plants. Here in Louisiana, we usually contact the LSU Ag Center for info and advice on what and when to plant, when to prune and when to fertilize, etc. I'm sure your area has a similar service. Good Luck.

With apple tree pruning: don't prune the branches on the bottom so the arch up, prune it so it is easy to reach and leave most of the small buds on the bottom on the tree...we used to have apple trees, until my grandfather prunded the trees...he got clipper happy.
And get two trees so one can polinate the other, i'd suggest getting it from a flower supply shop...or possibly a local nursery (plant nursery).

You have to wait about 3-5 years. But you will need 2 trees. That's all. Oh yea, You have to prune the trees too.

Only if the apples are not sterile hybrids. Most apples for sale are sterile hybrid apples according to my wife.
