they grow just fine, but you get better amounts and size of fruit if you graft them onto a stronger rootstock, you can do that later anyhow teh other thing is a lot of commercial apples are hybrids and their seeds don't produce consistent variety features.

Yeah, my MIL already explained it all to me. She grew up on a farm with an orchard.
well, small apples are ok, especially to make pies and desserts and preserves and salads and such and there's nothing stopping you from getting a good seedstock clone to graft a branch from your babies onto to give them a kickstart
er, rootstock*
Mostly, I just want the pretty flowers. Might also add a plum tree, for more flowers. We have two big apple trees and a cherry tree, so I don't actually need more apples.
