Cut them into 3 inch lengths and split those into one inch(more or less) pieces. Once this is done the apple is ready to use as smoke wood on a charcoal fire. I prefer to use apple while still green if I can. You can also dry them before you use them, cut and split like this they will be dry in 2-4 weeks depending on storage conditions. I just got a milk crate full from a friend myself. Good Luck.
