how old is your dd?
what otehr finger foods has she had?
might be better to start with something that's naturally a bit squishier like ripe pear, or banana, or steamed carrot

if your lo is quite young and has few teeth then I would avoid apple as a finger food as they can be a choking hazard. I would try what the pp suggested before I would try apple. my ds actually coped better when handed a whole peeled and cored apple and then he could scrape bit of with his teeth without being able to bite big lumps off.
