i have been working on apples and how apples behave due to temperature. i searched on net and found so many things but mainly it's confusing and complicated. i only have a question: is there anyway to get apples to overripe faster?

Put them in a paper bag and close it. The gases given off by the fruit will ripen it faster.
Paper Bags
Many fruits -- including avocados, bananas, pears, peaches, and tomatoes -- will ripen better when placed in a paper bag. To hasten the ripening process of any fruit, place an already ripe apple or banana peel in the same bag and store it at room temperature. To ripen green bananas, wrap them in a damp dishtowel before placing them in the bag. Once your fruits have adequately ripened, you can halt the process by putting them in the refrigerator

Place them in a paper bag with a banana. Close it up and wait a couple of days. The warmth of the paper bag, along with the gas from the ripening banana will speed up the ripening process of the apples.
