Cut the yarn long enough, thread the yarn tail through the front loops of each of the last 6 st, pull the tail tight to close the hole.
Use the yarn tail and thread it through the apple to the bottom, skip a couple of stitches and thread the yarn tail back through the center of the apple and up to the top.
Pull the yarn tail tight so it makes an indent at the bottom and top of the apple and make a Knot to secure it. Hide the yarn inside the apple.
