I'm trying to sprout apple seeds. I don't really know where I'm going with that project, but once I transplant my succulent into a bigger pot, I'll have a spare small pot. Apples come with free seeds, so I'll see what happens.

That reminds me of my most successful gardening venture to date (currently ongoing):

Apparently getting to the "micro-green" stage isn't so hard. I may start growing my own.

Each apple variety is a from grafted clones of a single tree, and I think the sprouted seeds can be very different from the parent.

Some people grow them as bonsai too.

I did read that! My experiment is more about whether I can grow a plant from seed and less about the fruit.

Fun. My experience with growing from seeds is limited to packets of flower seeds.
