This vary from apple to apple, and also very much between the type of apple.
Most apples have between 8-12 seeds, but some have less, others have many many more.
The amount of seeds may vary with the condition of the tree, and the growth year also. If it is a particularily bad year, then there might be more seeds and fewer apples. In a good year, the apples will be bigger and have fewer seeds.

∙ 13y agoApple seeds contain cyanide.
Cyanide has an LD50 of 8 mg/kg, this means that in a sample of laboratory rats, when the level of cyanide reaches 8mg/ kg of body weight (or 50 parts per million) 50% of the sample population can expected to die. This is the way that toxicity of a substance is calculated.
This means that an individual weighing 50kg will have to ingest 400mg of cyanide in order to kill them (50% chance).
The other issue to bear in mind is that apple seeds only contain a small amount of cyanide, so you would have to eat a lot of them to make you sick.
People have differing metabolic rates, this could also effect how cyanide is processed by the body and how toxic it may be to a person.

Do you have to chill apple sees before you plant them?
Apple seeds need to be started indoors. This can be done in one of two ways: you can place some apple seeds into a paper towel. Fold the paper towel over into a small square. Keep the paper towel wet, and place it in your refrigerator. Keep checking the seeds and keeping them moist. In a week or so, your apple seeds will sprout. They are now ready to plant outside. Or, you can use a Styrofoam cup filled with potting soil to start your seeds. Dig a shallow hole in the middle of the potting soil and plant the apple seeds there. Set the container on a sunny windowsill and keep the soil moistened. In a week or so, the apple seeds will sprout. They will then be ready to plant outside.
