Do whole apples make good compost...

I have lots of fallens apples and wondering if I should just add them to the compost heap? Clearly I am a novice gardener. In fact, I am not even a gardener at all but simply a field labourer for DW.

My nan used to pick over the windfalls any Salvageable apples were peeled, pared and frozen any un salvageable went with the peelings on the compost

thanks. Looks like they are all going to compost this year. Next year will try to ensure that we salvage some for pies etc. Thanks
