A couple of the sprouts have leaves. Should those go below the surface of the soil?

You can follow all of the above suggestions and if they work, you will get a tree but probably not a very good apple tree. Apples propogated by seed generally produce a second rate tree with poor fruit. You will also need two apple trees if you want apples as apple trees do not self pollinate. Apple trees are reproduced by grafts as this makes for the most successful apple. If you want to grow them for fun and to watch a tree grow, have at it but don't expect too much. You won't get a very good apple producing tree. Johnny Apple seed ran around the country planting trees that were mostly good for cider. However, on the bright side, growing any kind of tree from seed would be an exciting experience for me and can be for you too.

Fill a small flower pot with some potting compost and sow the seeds about an inch from the surface. Water very lightly and keep on a window ledge in the light and out of the cold.

Pot them in soil with the leaves above soil level, water, south window.

Dirt works. I also know that water helps. Sunlight is their fuel.
