Ro Ro, we intentionally did this math based on the weight of the apples, rather than number, since the number of apples needed will depend a lot on how large they are. If possible, we'd recommend taking the weight of your apples. If that's not possible, it may help to know that you'll generally need 3-5 medium apples to get 1 lb. From there, the premise mentioned in the article, that 1 pound of whole apples translates to roughly 3 cups of prepared apples can help us make the conversions. If your apples are especially large, you might get more like 4-5 cups, while if they're on the smaller side, you'll probably land somewhere around 2-3 cups. Hope this helps and happy baking!
